Here is the latest build. Revell Peterbilt 359 Conventional with AMT Semi Trailer. It measures right at 36" long. Hope you enjoy.

May I sum up your work with one word? MAGNIFICENT! OK, I am definitely a fan of large trucks; dislike sharing a road with 18 wheelers even though they are a staple of American economy and I have nothing against the 'cab-over'.Â
But the 'Conventional' Kenworth and Peterbilt are super sensational! Your work is beyond excellence!

very cool John 😎 ......the old adage about truckers finding the best places to eat seems to still ring true

@perrone1 Thanks Tony. This one took me about 3 weeks to build on an off. I've got a few more big rigs to build, but I might tackle a 1/8 scale working V8 next. We will see.

What Tony said! Wow, three feet long! Do you have room to display it?

Beautiful work. I wonder how many models I could store in that trailer (gotta make room somehow).

@pete-rovero Yes Pete. I have some glass shelves on the wall that will take the long trailer.
