Thanks 29! No doubt about that, I had fit issues on my Pete too! I'm currently building the AMT White Western Star and the rear axles were a pain to line up on the suspension!
Ray, indeed the decals seen are the ones that come with the kit. Fortunately, the tires are your usual one piece tire. I hate those two piece tires like the ones that come with the International dump trucks...
@@johngligo4049 thanks, I just saw another channel that was comparing the lineage of this Peterbilt's kit releases, and he had one in same box as currently available that had 2-piece tires. Yeah, I'm glad you say the current kit, even if in the same box, doesn't have 2-piece. I'm on the lookout now for one. I'll be sure to ask at show/swap meets to be sure what I'm getting. Thanks again.
@@rayrussell6258 Ohh wow that's very interesting! Would never even guess that they had a version with two piece tires! Glad these issues don't! I bought my 359 California Hauler from my local Hobby Lobby 😊

Love this build.
California Hauler....I need to get one of these.
Thanks for posting John.
Thanks! I would grab one for sure!
Nice job! Just tried to build one it was the worst fitting kit I think I've ever had.

Awesome rig! Cool build John!! 👍😎👍
Hey Thanks A Lot Poppy!
California Hauler looks real nice, great work John👍
Thanks A Lot David! I sure enjoyed building this Pete! I am currently building a dry van trailer for it with matching Lagoon Blue color!
Super nice! Thanks for sharing. Have a great week.

Much appreciated David! Glad you enjoyed it! At some point, I'll get an AMT dry van for it and paint it in the same Lagoon Blue!
In some details, I probably would have gone a different way. But in the end, a well-built model that convinces.
Much appreciated 😊
Are those decals that come with the kit?
Also, does your kit have 2-piece tires that must be glued together, or regular tires?

Nice.
Thanks Mars!
What is that blue paint you used for it?
The color that I used to paint this old Pete 359 is Rustoleum Gloss Lagoon Blue 😊
I got this as well
Awesome! She already built?
@@johngligo4049 I just got it last week and I’m still in the planning stage along with the trailer
