1/25 or 1/24 scale? What type? Kenworth, Peterbilt, aftermarket? For a 1/24 Pete flat top, you can use the lower panels from a Revell or Italeri Peterbilt 377 or the mislabled "379" kit and this top from P&P Resins.

For a 1/25 Pete flat top, you can find that in any of the Revell Peterbilt 359 kits. If your wanting a correct Kenworth flat top, nobody makes one....yet!

Hey Gordon

I don't know of anyone casting the entire 63 inch flat top sleeper in 1/24 scale, I cast the flat top panel for it to convert the kit sleeper to a flat top, never really thought about casting the complete sleeper when it is so easy to convert the kit sleeper with our top panel. I guess it is something we could do if there was enough interest in it. We will have a complete sleeper in the 36 & 48 inch before too long. Ben Wicker is working on the master parts for those now, maybe I will try to get him to do a 63 inch next.

Have you done anything with the 389 hood conversion you picked up from us on e-bay a few weeks ago ??? I was not happy with it the way it was, the mold messed up causing all the mess under the hood so I reworked one and recast it with a separate grill shell, opened the grill up between the bars so you can lay a grill screen in it from the back side, a much better parts set now. If you have not already used the hood let me know and I will send you one of the reworked hood and grill on me.
