Mr mopar Posted June 5, 2021 Author Posted June 5, 2021 There now available at FREIGHTLINER POWERLINER GRILL AND EMBLEMS 1/25 SCALE – ST Supply Company
vincen47 Posted June 7, 2021 Posted June 7, 2021 Am I correct in remembering that to do an accurate Powerliner you’d have to widen the AMT Freightliner cab? Still, with this photo etch set, we’re a lot closer to being able to build one than before. Looks like a nice set.
Muncie Posted June 7, 2021 Posted June 7, 2021 yes, The Powerliner cab is 4" wider than the 61 series raised cab in the AMT kit - but there are many other differences. The extra width in the tunnel and a unique forward frame assembly was required to accommodate a 1200 square inch radiator. The Powerliner was developed as a high horsepower owner operator truck long before Freightliner had a Conventional in that market. Every Powerliner had a lot of extra Custom Engineering hours.
