Rockford Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 Looks like a great project. I have a real affection for the kit on the bottom. I intend to do that stripe combo on a 359 one day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete68 Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 (edited) Nice choice I have several of these in progress and about 20+ unbuilt these are my favorite of the TNT series. Here’s my link if you want to look at some I’m working on. Edited February 19 by Pete68 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not for sure if Heller still has the molds are not. Thanks I custom made the decals for the single axle and also made single headlights for it. I need to get back on some of these and finish them.

53gmc Posted February 25 Author Share Posted February 25 Between the two kits i so far have enough parts for one good rig 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leafsprings Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 (edited) NIce project, forgot about those mini kits. Like the box art on the original issue 359, appears to have the same paint scheme of the 1/25 newer cab 359.

I always put a small piece of styrene under the springs to raise it up. Just thought I would let you know 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
