Promoting Excellence in HO Scale Vehicle Modeling

Peterbilt 379 Truck Tractor & 48' Flatbed Trailer - By Bob Craig


These pictures from Bob Craig are of his latest venture, a steel haulin' Pete. The 379 tractor is based on a Jacob's Models cab cast in red-dye resin with sleeper lowered to a flat top. The air filters are from electronic parts, mirrors are kitbashed and cab mounted, exhaust stacks from aluminum tubing, and steps are cast from Classic Mint. The trailer is a Lonestar Trailmobile 40 footer lengthened to scale 48' with removable side kit. The removable canvas top is a one-ply Kleenex over .016" metal "bows" on a styrene sheet.
