Default Peterbilt 359 Texas flag truck done!

Since we all like looking at pictures I thought I would post some of it.
This is not a show truck....it's just a good old fashioned work truck!
I am done adding things to it....so it must be finished right?

Any way some of you guys parts are on it.....you know who you are,and
thank you for making them available to me.








Thanks for looking!

AWESOME truck. Really well done. For those interested the 1:1 can be found here. Let me add that I know it was not supposed to be exactly the same as the 1:1 - I think it looks better and that is saying something! I like the length you have as well as the additional striping. Very nice job.

The little details really make this truck, very nice. How long is the chassis? Looks perfect. I like the short bunk and the window in the back.
Where did you get the acorns on the steer wheels? Really finishes off the look of the wheels.

Thanks for the comments guys!
Brian I cut the PMD full fenders up to make the 1/4 outlaws.
Nick the rails are 28" and the acorns are from Sonoran Wraith.
Jim the air ride is from PMD.

That's a really nice flatbed too, any more details on that one?
The landing gear looks really realistic, where did you get it from?

For something that was thrown together, it looks real good!
I can't find that landing gear on the PMD site, I thought I'd seen it there before. It looks much more scale than the tamiya gear.
You should post a pic of your whole truck fleet, I bet you have quite a few tractors now. I'm still trying to finish my first!

Very nice looking truck. Long and low is the way to go. It came together well and the changes from the original make it that much better. I like the first pic the best but that's mainly because the way the trailer looks. At first glance it looks like an open topped hauler trailer because the angle with the flat bed in front of the cattle trailer. Anyway really nice build with just the right amount of metal.

I know it's been said a few times already, but good job the truck looks amazing. I like the closed tandem look over the spread tandem it had before.
