kilrathy10 Posted February 23, 2017 Posted February 23, 2017 (edited) Well, Guys....I got another 579 from New Ray reworked, and I made a fleet version.....I'm really liking this offering....So many possibilities.....I took a Moebius 53'er and set it on the back, and this is how it came out.....

kilrathy10 Posted February 23, 2017 Author Posted February 23, 2017 (edited) I'm gonna add some decals to the truck, later.....Just as soon as I can figure out "what"..... Edited February 23, 2017 by kilrathy10
gatorincebu Posted February 23, 2017 Posted February 23, 2017 JT, BY Jove ole chap . You've gone an done it again! That looks a good combination. Decals for the truck. Schnieder ??? Be Well Gator
Tesla Posted February 23, 2017 Posted February 23, 2017 Looks mighty fine JT! Not sure if anyone produces Schneider decals, but it would be a great choice.
1959scudetto Posted February 23, 2017 Posted February 23, 2017 Hey, JT , does this come already in "your color" - or have you repainted the body?What scale is it and where can one get it and for what price?
kilrathy10 Posted February 24, 2017 Author Posted February 24, 2017 Thanks, Boys.....I've been having a little too much fun doing these things.....I appreciate all the interest and kind sentiments....

What scale is it and where can one get it and for what price? Helmut.....This baby is 1/24 scale and is made by New Ray....In China, too....I get mine from 3000toys.com for about $50, but you should be able to find it over there,,,,Maybe for cheaper, even.....But No, it doesn't come in the fabulous color of orange .....Just blue or black.....

gotnitro? Posted February 25, 2017 Posted February 25, 2017 Mighty nice ! Looks perfect in front of the 53 ft'er
Dirtracer22 Posted February 27, 2017 Posted February 27, 2017 Is it curbside or have you put a motor in it? I saw Tim is busy with some of these too. They look great. Shame nobody will make us an outright new kit to build huh. You made it look beautiful as always.

Thanks, Buddy....Naaa....This one is a total curbside.....Although, I plan on using an old Italeri chassis as a donor, someday.....Tim is "The Man" when it comes to this conversion.....I'm always checking his fotki page.....
purepmd Posted February 28, 2017 Posted February 28, 2017 Another knockout. JT. In it's own right, as cool as the first. Just a quick aside about the Italeri chassis. I have got mine all cut up, the sleeper, cab, hood, and bumper separated, and the 377 frame looks very close. Once you cut out the screw stanchions, from under the hood, it can be hinged pretty easily. A firewall can be fabbed with a little sheet stock, and TA-DA. You really did start a sales boom for New Ray with these.

Kostas Parchas Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 Excellent build JT, I love it and the 53'' trailer found its place hooked on this one.I wish I could buy a few New Ray Peterbilts but there is no delivery support for Greece from US.Kostas.
bandit1 Posted March 13, 2017 Posted March 13, 2017 cool i hope to get a few here later to do the TIM conversion to, btw i think your missing the PETERBILT emblems on the side of the hood and grill?... wouldnt a snap pete have good DONOR Pete emblems?

Thanks Buddy.....Yeah....I have quite a few decals, and I was just going to wait till I figured out what logos to go with and do it all at the same time.....I want to do a Schneider setup with this one, but we'll see what I can find.....
