Tesla Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 I didn't bother taking pics during the build, so straight to "Under Glass". This was made with the Revell W900 snap kit. The day cab panel is from FG Model (sold for a Peterbilt) but I chose to use it here. FG Model is out of business which is a real shame...real quality parts. All tires and drive wheels are from the Moebius tire and wheel kit. Questions and comments always welcomed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim B Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Lokks really nice. I like it. Looks like you updated the hood with square headlights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tesla Posted June 23, 2014 Author Share Posted June 23, 2014 Lokks really nice. I like it. Looks like you updated the hood with square headlights. That I did...I modified the hood and cab doors for a more up to date look. The headlight lenses are from P&P Resin (thanks to KJ Humphreys) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenny B Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Dennis, SNAP KIT??? If you didn't say it was I wouldn't have ever known. Very nice clean work nice little extras. One question I have is on your pipes. Are they made from plastic or aluminum? Also how did you get the real nice 90 degree bend on them?

Kenny B For the pipes I used Plastruct 1/4" tubing and the bends are Plastruct elbows. The exhaust guards are made from PEX tubing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Tom! I do apologize for not taking shots as it progressed. This was supposed to be a fill-in project while waiting on parts for my trailer build. Well, it morphed out of control, the trailer took a back seat and this is the result...I wish I had progress pics...definitely next time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Buckaroo Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Very sharp looking truck - looks like a real work truck with a lot of "Driver Pride" . I had just been thinking lately on why you dont see more of these kits built a daycabs. A fine example you have displayed here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
