Prior to the build of the AMT Peterbilt 359 mentioned in an earlier post from this site, I just had to have an example of a Peterbilt 359 - even if it wasn't the "narrow window" type of 1969.I chose the Revell / Germany kit. I made a photo copy of a page from the instruction sheet and did up "my paint scheme"
in Adobe Photoshop.
This was a fun build, could have done even more detailing. Doors open, engine hood too. I left the top of the sleeper un-glued so it can be removed to show the bunk. I did not like the air-dam above the sleeper, so my Pete doesn't have one.
The decals must be placed carefully, and I had to make new pins (from cut paper-clips) for the exhaust stacks.
This truck is now "hauling" a 1/24 scale tri-wheeled trailer.

Nice job - love the Winslow Stripes! Great idea to use the instruction sheet for color selection.
