NICE rework of the snap kit! Great look by replacing those horrid snap kit wheels & air breathers.

Thank you! The Snap wheels are a total pain in the butt, some helpful soul on another forum sent me a set of RoG wheels, together with the breathers. I really like how this one worked out myself too.

Beautiful build. I have some of the original snapper first issues and the wheels and tires are all the same. Worthless. Any who Nice paint and over all look on this snapper.

Thanks! I had some issues with the Seminole decals and my varnish, but I got it sorted eventually.

Nice to see you building one from the "dark side"! ;D Your modifications give this "simple snap kit" quite a different look, very nice rig.

Thanks guys! Yeah, I have a soft spot for the Dark Side of PACCAR indeed, Robert! One cannot build Peterbilts alone, right? ;D

The SnapTite is fun to build, as long as you don't deviate from the flight plan. Apparently I just can't do box-stock anymore, so it's easily said that I go out of my way to find trouble every now and then... ;D

The only thing I dont like about it is the frame and the tire/wheels assemblies for the most part but the rest is very nice. I have a couple of them just for the motor and spare parts as I think the parts in that kit are better then those offered by AMT

The 3406 CAT that comes with this kit is great! I agree with you on the wheels and tires, that should have been designed better. And, while I'm at it, I think this kit (just like the SnapTite Pete 359) should come with a visor and the mirror brackets could have been more realistic. But then again, these kits are quite cheap...
