FIREMODELMAN Posted April 6, 2007 Posted April 6, 2007 My turn to get into this new pete snap kit... This build will be a double cab rescue / communications truck. I have already sawed off the sleeper, and added the extra cab and extended the frame. I still have lots of bondo work to do, but it's a start.
Old Albion Posted April 8, 2007 Posted April 8, 2007 Dave, This is differant, never seen a double cab like that before. Having seen your other vehicles I'm looking forward to the next updates. Good Luck
FIREMODELMAN Posted April 9, 2007 Author Posted April 9, 2007 Thanks guy's, i had a small set back the other night, this kit was boxed up with out any front fender's!!!! lucky me i had two set's of 'em in the basement, they may not be the correct one's for it, but there close enough for me. i've been working on "molding " the cab's together, so far so good. i had a change of mind on the rear of the second cab, i will add a piece of tread plate to it later this morning. Front bumper has been extended, waiting on my foil shipment so i can finish it. I'll have pics up later today, my batteries are charging right now, so look for the pics later.. Thanks for looking,dave.
455 Rocket Posted April 12, 2007 Posted April 12, 2007 I had never seen anything like this except for IH's used for the railroad or fire departments. I was leaving the Oakland Airport today and saw a 3 axle cab over Kenworth crew cab! It was really odd to see a second front door were the sleeper would be. It was set up with a flatbed and a crane mounted at the rear and extended forward over the cab. I wish I had a camera with me so I could have posted a photo. Unusual, I must say.
SpreadAxle Posted April 12, 2007 Posted April 12, 2007 Yet another cool idea. i didn't realize there were so many possibilities with this kit. I can't wait to see this one.
JdKustomModels Posted April 12, 2007 Posted April 12, 2007 Dave I just checked out the new pics in your album. AWESOME!
rottin1 Posted April 12, 2007 Posted April 12, 2007 Dave, Awesome idea here! This kit is becoming quite popular. I've already built 2 of these kits and have 2 more on the shelf. So many possiblities for this model. I can't wait to see more work on your cab! Keep it up!
FIREMODELMAN Posted April 12, 2007 Author Posted April 12, 2007 Thank you for all the nice comments..I have to agrre that the build possabilities on this truck might just about be endless?? I did notice that along with the missing fender's, i'm missing my lubrefiner, so it's off to the parts box again..I started work on the rescue body last night, dont have any pics yet, i'll wait till it gets farther along. Thanks again , dave.
FIREMODELMAN Posted April 15, 2007 Author Posted April 15, 2007 Here are some new pics of the rescue body.. To cold for any paint anytime soon, so i guess it'll go to the show as a WIP. Thanks for looking,dave.
Turbo590 Posted April 15, 2007 Posted April 15, 2007 Dave, One word......WOW!! The combining of the 2 cabs..spectacular..a master modeler at work Congrats.....on another great build. Kurt McLucas
Casey429 Posted April 15, 2007 Posted April 15, 2007 I've seen a couple Pete 330 Crew Cabs, but never anything like this. You pretty much have the cab dead on as far as I can tell. It sure is neat looking. The only thing I'd change is the stack location (personal preference). One of the 330s I saw had them at the very back, another had weedburners. Either way, that thing is a beast!
SpreadAxle Posted April 15, 2007 Posted April 15, 2007 that's sharp. really sharp. make sure when you do get to paint it, to post a pic. nice job.
pete359driver Posted April 16, 2007 Posted April 16, 2007 awsome build,some real nice craftsmanship 8)
FIREMODELMAN Posted April 18, 2007 Author Posted April 18, 2007 Thanks for the nice comments guy's.. Well i did get a change to do some painting, so here she is.. I will give her a knick name of "ORANGE CRUSH", paint is dupli-color HEMI orange, and WAL-MART WHITE..I will paint the upper portion of the rescue box tonight. All 5 light bars on the truck and box i made from plastic knifes, i just chopped up the handles and added some bit's of styrene, and paint.Decal's and stripes continue, but here is what i have so far, thanks for looking,dave.( more pics in my fotki album)
BIGTRUCK Posted April 18, 2007 Posted April 18, 2007 Wow...been waiting to see how this one came out and the wait was well worth it....it came out ''Super'' a job well done..
455 Rocket Posted April 19, 2007 Posted April 19, 2007 When I first saw that blob of putty between the two cabs I never thought to would look like this! Fantastic work.
SpreadAxle Posted April 19, 2007 Posted April 19, 2007 I agree with Rocket, but seeing your other models, these results don't surprise me. Awesome work.
Old Albion Posted April 20, 2007 Posted April 20, 2007 Dave, Who would have believed that this masterpiece started life as a blob of putty. Superb! 8)
