1/16 Pete 379, Race Trailer, and CARS (Page 3)


Recommended Posts

Very nice! Did you scratchbuild the headlights or are they aftermarket?

No, Sir....They came from the 1/20 scale Pete 359 from Lindberg....I added some plastic to the back and sides and sanded them down to resemble 379 headlights....Not totally accurate, but convincing.....

Excellent work on them! I've made single headlights but I wish someone would resin up some modern ones like yours. B)

JT, Very nice build. That's the kind of trailer I'm wanting to build. One question are you going to put lights on the trailer?

Very nice work JT! How long is the whole rig? It looks like it's coming in at 12 feet!! LOL! A rough estimate gives me about 4 foot 6 inches! Go big.

59 1/4" total....It's on the first page....But I have no problem telling it, again...
