"Peterbilt 378"
alexjacques426
I love semis and this is definitely a kit i like it goes good for my diorama of truckers this diorama features many trucks in a yard where they will eventually make their next stop and when I saw this kit I had to add it to the diorama this kit looks very nice and will look even nicer when I get a trailer behind it this kit is very nicely detailed and i love it i might just pick up a second one for the diorama PROS: nicely detailed, fun to build, gives you a challenger, minimal to no flash CONS: Kind of expensive depending on your budget if you are thinking of picking up this kit but don’t have a lot of money don’t stress it cause the Pete 359 and Kenworth W900 from Revell are also just as good but if you do have the money pick it up it is really an awesome kit and you will be satisfied and will do well for dioramas

 
"Peterbilt 378"

This is a modified version of the previously released Peterbilt 378. (The box shows a 379) In this issue they have thankfully added the 63 standup sleeper from the 377 kit. It also features a 60 Series Detroit engine, positionable front wheels, and air ride suspension. Although I don't like the multi piece cab this allows the roof to be left removable. This kit lends itself to lots of customizing and scratchbuilding possibilities. For example with the addition of a resin aftermarket hood it can be converted to a 379, 357, etc...

 
"Great kit"
Adseyffert
This is my first Italeria model. I am very impressed with he high level of detail put into the model me the instructions (they even tell you what part tray each piece is on). This truck went together super smooth and easy. It has been a great change from doing cars. Very highly recommended. The quality is well worth the money spent.

Information

The Peterbilt 378 Long Hauler Tractor Cab is a semi-tractor truck model produced by Peterbilt Motors Company. This model was first introduced in 1997 as a replacement for the earlier 359 model. The 378 was designed to be more aerodynamic and fuel-efficient than its predecessor, featuring a sloping hood and a more streamlined cab design.

The 378 came in a variety of configurations, including day cab, extended cab, and sleeper cab models. Powering the 378 were several engine options such as the Caterpillar C15, the Cummins N14, and the Detroit Diesel Series 60. Transmission options were also available, including manual, automatic, and semi-automatic.

Throughout its production, the 378 received updates with new features and technologies such as electronic controls, improved aerodynamics and more fuel-efficient engines. Customization options were also available, including chrome packages, custom paint schemes, and specialized lighting and suspension systems.

The 378 model was phased out in 2007, however, it remains a beloved model among truck enthusiasts and collectors. The iconic design, powerful engines and reputation for reliability and durability are some of the reasons for its continued popularity.
