Peterbilt Detroit Diesel color?

Hi, is the 352 reissue kit supposed to have a white engine? I can't find any pics online. Thanks.

If it's the old v8 it will be alpine green................Matt

In the 70's Peterbilt was painting all the different types of engines, white but they could be found in the normal colors as well.

Let's say you're using Alpine Green for your 8V71 in the 352 Pete, you can order it from scalefinishes.com under Fleet Colors then Engine Colors... Just thought you'd be interested. But Peterbilt also had white engines.

I've never used Scalefinishes' paints, but Testors Model Master Grun RLM 62 is a good match for the old Alpine Green. I used it here on a 8V71 for an American-LaFrance pumper:

That color is close enough me thinks.
