Lee Drennen’s 1/43 AMT 1970 Peterbilt 359 Heavy Hauler

[Lee Drennen]

Here’s a 1/43 AMT Peterbilt 359 that I’m making into a Medium Heavy Hauler. I plan on adding some after market parts to it including a Medium Duty wench. I have several of these in the stash and they always been one of my favorites of the whole AMT line of models.

Yes me as well Lee, I'll sit with Paul.
When it's done is it bound for the railway layout, not sure which scale you have on the system.

Thanks Gentlemen for sitting in.

John this little Jewel will be a shelf Queen it’s just a little to big for the layout for me.
