pastafarian Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 (edited) Hey folks, This is my first rig. I like these :) This is the Revell Peterbilt 359. I've heard that the tires are too narrow, but after the rims spread them out a little they looked ok to me. It's OOB (just wanted to see how I'd like it before going crazy). I painted it with a tamiya acrylic. I got a pretty uneven/worn look out of it. I like that it has a very used look to it. This was partially an experiment to see how acrylics worked. I don't think I'll use them for a "newer" truck or car. Anyway, let me know what you think, good or bad. John Edited October 10, 2011 by pastafarian Quote Link to post Share on other sites

caudleryan Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Impressive model. I built one a while back. It's lurking around here, somewhere. My biggest complaint with this kit is the wheels. The way they are supposed to be built left mine crooked and uneven. Other than that, it was a good kit. RYAN. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
