An RoG Peterbilt 359 I initially wanted to match the W-900A by RoG, but I decided to go for a different paint job. The Seminole scheme (which Peterbilt calls the 027B-scheme, by the way) was an experiment, but I'm glad with how it turned out, despite the marks on the area where the hood meets the cowl.
I extended the paint job over the radiator crown sides, making the hood appear to be longer. I initially wanted to make an early stand-up sleeper, but the designated warped resin part was too far gone, so I went for a flattop instead.
This Pete is mostly box-stock, except for the Caterpillar 3406 engine under the hood ('borrowed' from the Miller SnapTite KW W-900). The fuel tanks are from an Italeri Peterbilt kit, and the deck plate is made from styrene tear plate covered with BMF.
