The snap Peterbilt kits have a lot of potential, there’s a huge amount of variations on the forum. Expand Question where did you score the front visor from?

Expand The cab visor is from Double Take Replicas. He’s not casting at this time, but modeltruckbuilder.com has a nice one in the store. The bug deflector was borrowed from an older issue Italeri Peterbilt 378 kit. I’m not sure if the newer issues have it. It’s not a perfect fit, but in the spirit of an older truck with a lot of hand-me-down parts, it is if the owner got it off of a junk 378, and made it work on his 359.

signguy2108 Posted December 31, 2020 Posted December 31, 2020 Here's 1 of about 10 Petes and 1 of about 8 kw's
christian-w Posted February 10, 2021 Posted February 10, 2021 (edited) Here is mine - basically it is the snap kit #85-1506. I added the rear chrome plate of another kit and some wiring. This one was used to test the wheathering set by Revell and other stuff / techniques - but only under the hood. Painted via rattle can. Nothing special. Edited February 10, 2021 by christian-w
1959scudetto Posted February 15, 2021 Posted February 15, 2021 all very nice models - I've built the very first version in about 1983, then under the Monogram name - box stock, with the addition of a headache rack from amt's KW Alaskan Hauler to hide the tabs on the backside of the sleeper.
kilrathy10 Posted February 16, 2021 Posted February 16, 2021 (edited) I love this thread.... So many cool builds from a $20 kit... I can't believe it ever went out of production in the first place; and for so long... Here's mine!! Edited February 16, 2021 by kilrathy10

After buying a couple of AMT kits recently and seeing the difference it was good advice! This is my first truck build which I did for my dad for Christmas. Awesome kit by Revell, the only thing I didn't like was the tyres. The sidewalls were a bit wrinkly in the box and they don't sit nicely against the rims, I had to use some canopy glue to hold them to the wheels, other than that, it basically go's together like Logo. Expand I agree on the tires. I actually got the idea to fill the inside of the tries with 3/8" backer rod from another member on the board. I found it an Ace Hardware. It's a foam material which comes in a 20' coil. It's similar in feel to packing peanut type foam. Pictures attached.
Protouringjoe Posted February 27, 2021 Posted February 27, 2021 Just finished mine up. Did it "new old school" style
nyguy Posted January 16, 2023 Posted January 16, 2023 Just found this thread. This is my 359 with some minor changes. Does anyone know if resin or 3D tires are available?
Dave Van Posted January 16, 2023 Posted January 16, 2023 I do have pics of my Revell snap PETE......a movie vehicle. Not an exact match but only PETE that was close enough for me. My own decals and a few added parts.
Bills72sj Posted January 17, 2023 Posted January 17, 2023 Other than the holes in the rims being too small, they look like they build up very nicely.
David G. Posted January 17, 2023 Posted January 17, 2023 There is a surprising amount of detail in this for a snap kit. It's obviously a great platform for some excellent model building. David G.
Doug 1061 Posted January 22, 2023 Posted January 22, 2023 This is mine. Built out of box except for headlight buckets and decal sheet from Model truckin.
bandit1 Posted January 23, 2023 Posted January 23, 2023 I built a few, ill find pics tomorrow as Photobucket did its thing a while back and post them then
