Peterbilt 359 "Black Magic"

[Jürgen M.]

Hi Folks,

I promised to post my Revell Peterbilt "Black Magic" truck:

I had turned it into a wrecker! My modelling skills as a 16 year old had improved so I stretched the chassis and built a scratch wrecker on top!

The crane is made of wood, covered with polystyrol sheet.

The generator for the winch is a transmission of an amt PB 359 which I had ruined two years before. (I had tested my skills on that and had failed!)

Hope you enjoy it:

See the red lights on top of the sleeper?

I did a lot of electronics stuff back then and thought I'd put a bit of it in this truck.

By the way, the hub covers on the rear wheels came from an amt Chevy Nomad 1/16 I think it was. They fit perfectly!

[Jürgen M.]

Thanks you!

Back then I didn't know much about them and there was no Google either! 

Glad you like it! ?

Clever stuff on the lights. Well done on another rejuvenation.

Impressive indeed!  You had a great idea and well executed to turn it into a wrecker.

I like how you hand wrote signs on the tow lift too.   Good job~

I'm glad that "the old stuff" is still liked! ?
