QCDOC Posted May 11, 2011 Author Posted May 11, 2011 Sean, are you sure you don't mean the 378? Italeri has that and a 377 A/E, and both kits have a Detroit Series 60. As for finding it, assuming you did mean the Italeri 378, does the Bridgeport Equipment and Tool (B.E.T.) Rental down by Krogers sell models? The owner of that has T&K Hobby up here in Bridgeport, and they carry Italeri trucks, and I'm almost sure there might even be one of the 378 kits up here. I used the 377 A/E.

PLEASE???
Kostas Parchas Posted May 13, 2011 Posted May 13, 2011 (edited) I like it very much!!! Did you used the PETERBILT 377 frame? I think that the rear end of the side skirts is too close to the drive axles. Will you strech this frame a little bit or you gonna use another frame? Kostas. PS I can see another resin kit in that box under your bench, is that also from de-elegant? Can you post photos? Edited May 13, 2011 by Kostas
bandit1 Posted May 13, 2011 Posted May 13, 2011 do i spy a yellow pete frame under the bench as well???

Go to the KW T-2000 .pdf and it gives the nominal dimensions for the truck. This is built at the low end. The truck below is this one:
highway Posted May 14, 2011 Posted May 14, 2011 The truck below is this one: Ok, you got my attention!! I noticed the Can Do bed in one of the previous pics, but I love that setup. What cab is that supposed to be?

QCDOC Posted July 11, 2011 Author Posted July 11, 2011 Looks really nice! I love the color Mark Thank you!
Kostas Parchas Posted August 24, 2014 Posted August 24, 2014 What ever happened to this build? Doug, You re right, I was wondering the same thing. It would be great to see this girl finished hauling a 53ft reefer. Mark, any update on this girl??? Kostas.
