Revell Peterbilt 359 'Black Magic'

[XYHARRY]

G'day folks, this build is my take on the Revell 'Black Magic'. I started it in the late 80s or early 90s then boxed it half built for 25 years. Finished in mid 2014 oob except for amber caution light unit and trailer hook up cables. I would like to refresh it one day as it was not displayed in a cabinet for a few years and got a bit dusty. This is my only 1:25 scale big rig but have an Italeri Western Star I have started, hopefully this one won't take as long as the first one?. Thanks for looking and all feedback is welcome and appreciated.

Cheers, 

David. ??

Glad you finished it, looks pretty cool. Blue and red make a nice contrast color combo.

First, thanks for sharing this.  I can’t believe you started this back in 80s. 

Really nice job on the kit, I know it does require some effort to finish since it has a decent level of detail parts.  
 

The color is quite wild and I like it.    
 

The blanket looks cool, I see what you did there.  
 

Overall, this one is super cool looking truck.

Thanks Steve, the blanket pattern is hard to see. You have a very good eye for details.??

That kit has allays been my favorite Peterbilt to build. Really like  the old box art. Nice color also.
