Old Buckaroo Posted April 15, 2014 Posted April 15, 2014 That is Super super Nice combo. Thumbs up all the way. How was that trailer decal to work with ? Is it one piece or sections ? This has always been one of my favorite trucks.
Superpeterbilt Posted April 15, 2014 Posted April 15, 2014 Well what the hells a Texas county mounty doin in Arkansas?
Jim B Posted April 15, 2014 Posted April 15, 2014 Very nice job, Alan. I would have to say that from what you had to start with, you made a very nice truck.

alangarber Posted April 15, 2014 Author Posted April 15, 2014 That is Super super Nice combo. Thumbs up all the way. How was that trailer decal to work with ? Is it one piece or sections ? This has always been one of my favorite trucks. Thanks all for the kind words. The side decals are in 2 pieces for each side. They are not too bad to work with. Just make sure before they are applied you wet the trailer down good so you can slide them if need be and don't rub them out too hard they will break up. I just patted them as I slid them on. Then 2 good coats of pledge to seal them.
Jim B Posted April 15, 2014 Posted April 15, 2014 Pavel, that's a Kenworth W900, not a Peterbilt 359.
vamach1 Posted April 15, 2014 Posted April 15, 2014 That's a nice model you sumabeetch Here's one a slightly larger scale.
Superpeterbilt Posted April 15, 2014 Posted April 15, 2014 Whoa! Whoa! Negatory! Negatory! When we say we gonna do a job, we do a job! We aint never not made it yet, aint we? So move over and lets introduce em to the boy!
tbill Posted April 15, 2014 Posted April 15, 2014 Alan, you are knocking these builds out of the park! that combo is sweet
alangarber Posted April 16, 2014 Author Posted April 16, 2014 Very nice Al...awesome work! Thanks all for the kind comments. Mark does that KW at the top look like you seen it somewhere before?
kilrathy10 Posted April 16, 2014 Posted April 16, 2014 Awesome save....This is a very cool model....I remember being awestruck seeing this truck in the movies....Great job....
grayghost Posted April 16, 2014 Posted April 16, 2014 WOW that is so cool.Any chance you will be adding the bandit in the trailer with a set of ramps?
disabled modeler Posted April 16, 2014 Posted April 16, 2014 Thanks all for the kind comments. Mark does that KW at the top look like you seen it somewhere before? Alan... Yes it sure does my friend and I knew it was going to the right home. I think it needs a black Trans Am and a set of ramps too very cool and very nice job with it...love it.
alangarber Posted April 16, 2014 Author Posted April 16, 2014 I may add those later. Thanks again for the trade so I could do this.
Q tip Posted April 16, 2014 Posted April 16, 2014 Well what the hells a Texas county mounty doin in Arkansas? frog,"i dont know" snowman,"i dont know" bandit," well who in the hell knows?" snowman, "i really dont know!"
impcon Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 That's an awesome build, Alan!! WOW!! What is amazing is that it is a rebuillder! Just goes to show what talent and determination can accomplish! I'd add a lone from the movie too, but there were too many good ones for me to just pickone. It's oneof my all time favorites and I still get goose bumps watching that Kenworth and that Firebird rolling down the highway!
