White Freightliner Single Drive Tractor

So far it looks just as expected. The details and chrome pieces will go good with some custom livestock trailers I’m going to build. The only problem is what color should I paint it?

Excess flashing, body plastic old (very hard) decals fell apart, instructions very vague leaving you in the dark on the right way to assemble certain parts. Struggled to build this truck and make it look great. Chassis was the easiest part and went well, then a 2 piece body began the trouble. Great looking truck, many nice chrome pieces. Could be an awesome kit if the manufacturer would up the quality of the parts. I added 3 inches to extend the frame to build a race car hauler flatbead.

For me, Amt was the pioneer in producing 1/25 scale truck kits. I built the original T-500-500 Peterbilt in 1970. This Freightliner kit continues in the AMT tradition---good parts fit, good level of authenticity, and parts interchangeability with other kits. With resources from other AMT kits, kit bashing and customizing is easily accomplished if that is your thing. Of course, box stock is great also. I would encourage all truck modelers to push for more reissues of big rig models like this one.
