Peterbilt 587

    The truck tractor is a new Tonkin/Trucks N' Stuff model (March 2013) and looks very good and rather complete with its mirrors and windshield wipers. The paint job is fairly thick but flawless. The side walls of the cabin are rather thick too and so the sleeper windows are looking as deep in "caves". Besides the back of the cabin is not correct.

    Trailer and container are by Athearn.

    The following was made
    a) in the case of the truck tractor:
    - model dismantled,
    - axles shortened and rear rim holes drilled out,
    - window seals, wipers and grille blackened (grille only slightly),
    - interior painted with some color and driver placed,
    - safety stripes attached,
    - antennas attached,
    - hoses for the connection with the trailer attached,
    - window "caves" in the sleeper walls filled with resin,
    - rear fenders added,
    - climbing aid attached to the chassis behind the sleeper and
    - rear wall of sleeper adjusted to the origin (see pic above).
    b) for trailer and container:
    - container slightly aged with a washing by diluted oil paint.
