There's gonna be some filler on this kit. Sink holes everywhere.
Проект: 'Pete' Custom Cabover

BozzerSo, I started this, basically to keep my sanity. It's an old kit, and I won it on eBay, years ago. I love the look of the truck, so let's see what I can do with it?
28 April, 19:13
BozzerThis isn't the "Walk in the park" kit, that I thought it was, Martin. I've tried the hot water treatment, on the cab, with no effect. So, it's a ceramic tile on the radiator, and weight on the roof. Hopefully, tomorrow will see some better results?
28 April, 20:09
Nigel ChapmanMy food dehydrator I use for drying painted items has a variable temp setting. Would anything like that help with the cab? I.e. a constant heat flow around the cab may soften it allowing it be reshaped.
28 April, 20:43
BozzerI like that idea, Nigel. I unfortunately, don't own a hairdryer, but I do have a heat gun. I don't particularly want to use it. As I type now, the tile and weight method, is underway. The heating and cooling of the radiator, should assist the process, but you've definitely given me a new train of thought.
Thankyou, my friend. The collective minds of the hive, strike again 👍

BozzerWow, I didn't realise how long it's been!
I've been tinkering on with this, along with many other projects, when time allows. I'll pick up on the pictures tomorrow.

BozzerThe saga of the cab warpage, didn't get any better. Even after 2 weeks on the radiator and a week outside in the sun, nothing happened. So I painted it and consoled myself, that once the clear parts were added, and the interior, that would stiffen things up and back in shape? Then suddenly, a cheap Peterbilt 352 kit, appeared on eBay. Three days later, it was in my hands. Cab was perfect, so black it went!
21 July, 12:42
Martin OostromNice work Bozzer. That gloss black is really reflective. Happy that you managed to buy yet another kit 😂
21 July, 15:00
BozzerThanks mate. I'm a bit gutted about the decals, and they took an awful long time, to get anything like they should be.
My advice to anyone thinking about building this kit, is to ditch the decals and use them as templates, for airbrushing. Much quicker, more effective, and no headache.
21 July, 16:22
Nigel ChapmanBozzer, you did an excellent job with those decals. They do look good over the black paint.
Any mods or is it box stock?
22 July, 04:39
Bill NewcomerLate to the party (again). That must be a vintage kit. I have never seen that aero package over the drive axles before.
23 July, 03:53
Martin OostromI doubt it'll do much. The cab is just a square block of metal fighting against airflow. So relieving the drag of the fifth wheel is relatively pointless.
But it does look good 👀

BozzerWelcome gents.
Nigel, this started out as bog standard, box stock. It was just something to keep me going? Like most of us here, I have other projects going on, so I was just building a cool kit to fill in gaps? Man, I've never fought a kit, so much!
That being said, it does look kinda funky. It's basically AMT's early 70's version, of a show truck. As a spoiler, it's just an ordinary 352 Pete, with a couple of extra sprues.
I've always wanted this kit, and when I got the chance, I snapped it up.
Like the old saying goes, be careful what you wish for.
23 July, 06:46
Nigel ChapmanI've fancied one myself but prices put me off.
This is the only Custom truck kit out there (?) are there any extra chrome parts as well?
Everything else AMT produced tended to be work trucks.
The Pete would look good with a roof chop and lowered all round!

Michael KohlLooking really good. I work on the S404 right now and your tips are appreciated.
22 July, 11:06
Michael KohlThanks Pascal for the hint. But I build the ambulance version and here those parts are not used.

Don’t get the hump - The Bedford Dromedary

To give you an idea of the size.
Everything other than the cab and the tractor chassis is scratch-built.

gorbyNew photos start at number 10.
This may give the impression that I've completed this in a couple of weeks...it's been nearer two months. Although the build is complete this update doesn't take us to the end of the build process.
Thanks for having a look. 🙂
16 July, 15:40
gorbyThanks Alec. I've tried cast parts in resin before and it wasn't very successful, this time I used silicon as the mould and that made all the difference. It's really easy with silicon. 🙂
17 July, 07:06
bughunterHoly moly - what a nice little model! Great work so far 👍 Sorry, I was not in the mood to follow all the nice builds here, so I discovered it lately.
And thank you very much for mention me in the album info 😉
18 July, 06:52
gorbyNo problem mate, I have times I'm not in the mood to comment, quite often really as I'm a grumpy old git. 😄
I hope to get the final photos posted at the weekend, it's finally stopped raining here so busy doing other jobs at the moment. 🙂
18 July, 11:13
gorbyFinally got around to taking some photos of this ridiculous beast, thanks you all for following the build. 🙂
20 July, 14:57
gorbyThanks David. 👍
Thanks Neuling, although you're mistaking me for a proper modeller if you expect a dio. 😄 😄
I have to be in the right mood to to do a dio and at the moment I just feel like building models. 🙂
21 July, 06:48
Christian BruerWow, very impressive and excellent work with a lot of scratchbuilt parts - love it 👍
21 July, 13:54
gorbyThanks very much Christian. Apparently the drivers didn't love them because they were sooooo slow. 🙂
21 July, 14:00
bughunterA small piece of tarpaulin over the first bows would make it even more interesting.
No, it was a joke 🙂 Nice model of a vehicle with British style.
22 July, 17:52
Michael KohlThanks for CaptGPF for poiting out the scrstch building. I would have completely missed it and thus a very enjoyable build report.
One of those builds that would have looked really good without paint too.
I got stuck with my QLD over the humps as I did not manage to shape them identically. Your idea with the jig might breath in some life into that build again. Thanks for that too.
22 July, 18:35
gorbyThanks very much matiepoos! 🙂
Buggy, I'll let you in on a secret just as long as you don't tell aaanyone else....I just got fed up with working out how I was going to put the tarp on the back and do the lacing onto the tie-downs. Therefore I decreed that it was nice day and they wanted to have the roof down. 😄 😄
Michael: I managed to confuse some others on a different forum about how much of this was scratch-built. Confusion seems to be my natural state and maybe I'm infecting everyone else. 😄
Spanjaard: I've even surprised myself with this one. Am I finally getting the hang of this modelling lark....then I see Frank's work and think how much further I have to go. 🙂
Thanks again everyone for you nice comments and to anyone who has clicked on 'Like'. 🙂
