1/20 peterbuilt 359

[gray07]

We got this from a member here (we did not build this) it was already built when we got it, i have never seen one before. I was told by a member on here that its a lindberg 1/20 peterbuilt 359. Looking at this model its a nice one, the plastic is kind of toy like, but the model could be detailed to make a really nice model, i noticed it has a window in the back of the sleaper, i like that because you could detail it real nice inside and you would beable to see ity also it has some nice decals. I would like to find a trailer to put behind it .

i would like to find one to build myself

Nice Rig! Actually I believe this is a old Testors kit you dont see to many of them however I have came across them from time to time on Ebay. A flat bed or a tanker would look great behind it. The only thing bad about those odd scales their is not alot of stuff out there for them it would all have to be custom.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news Shelly, but there are no 1/20 scale trailer kits produced that I know of. The only scales scales even close are old Monogram 1/16 scale trucks, but you will pay an arm and a leg for even just the flatbed trailer kit they had, since they have been long out of production, or a 1/25 scale, but either way, they won't match very well. The only other thing I could think of close would be maybe check Walmart, Target, etc. or even Tractor Supply Co. if you have one close to you and see what they might have in the line of toys. I know the Tractor Supply store here has trucks in their Christmas toy department that look to be close to maybe 1/18 scale, but in the way of kits, I think you are out of luck.

The only other suggestion I could give you if you want a trailer behind a Pete 359 like that without scratchbuilding a trailer for the 1/20 scale is get one of Revell's 1/25 scale Pete 359s. I see them all the time at my local Michael's for about $25 and if you have their 40% off coupon, you'd probably be able to get one for around $15. They are based off an old Monogram snap kit, go together easliy, and make a nice truck when built. It would also be much easier to find a trailer for. This is one that I have in progress.
