Rockford Posted April 10, 2021 Posted April 10, 2021 Can't say this is one of my favourite subjects. It's the beginning of the end of the trucks I fell in love with all those years ago. The chrome and steel of the old trucks is hidden behind the sterile aero kit and it does have exhaust stacks but they're relegated to behind the cab. Peterbilt 359 or KW 925, even LTL9000 it's not! However, it turned out ok. I added brake chambers, top and bottom flanges on the chassis, brake lines, converted the 10 hole alloys to 2 hole Budds on the rear, filled the empty rear axles and fabricated hubs on the rear axles. Tried adding white stripes but the decals turned to jelly when I used setting solution. Looks good with a van trailer but you see how all the aero kit comes to nothing in front of a tank or container trailer.
Rockford Posted April 10, 2021 Author Posted April 10, 2021 (edited) i added airlines to the rear of the cab too, Euro Suzie type rather than the straight hoses still in use in USA. Sadly, this is my last Monogram 1/32 Snap kit tractor but I have two trailers still to build. Edited April 10, 2021 by Rockford
