Promoting Excellence in HO Scale Vehicle Modeling

Peterbilt 359 Extended Hood Truck Tractor - By Ken Ensign


Ken Ensign has christened this Peterbilt 359 model "The Iceman." The cab is a resin casting from a Yatming die-cast model and the sleeper is from Herpa. Ken scratchbuilt the hood and most of the detail parts such as the "chicken" lights, hood ornament, bug shield, visor, front bumper and guides and the rear half fenders. The chassis is a modified Edocar with fuel tanks made from an ink pen body and tractor wheels are Edocar. Mirrors are photo-etched items from Plano. The trailer is from the junk box with a resin reefer casting from Steve del Sesto. The "ICE" decals are from an S-scale set for a ice machine; all other decals are from Micro-Scale.
