Hi guys. Just a couple of photos of a little project that I have been working on. It's a 1/24th scale model of the Peterbilt "Shockwave" jet truck that is officially the fastest truck in the world! The only kit parts that I have used are a second hand cab, bonnet & sleeper pod as well as some wheels that I found in the scraps box. Everything else is scratch built using plastic sheet, plastic electrical conduit and even some copper plumbing pipe!! Here are a few build photos Hope you like it!

What a wagon. Is the chassis really like that?

Thanks guys!

I have trawled the internet for photos of the real truck (I have even e-mailed the owner without success!) to get it accurate but I have had to end up scaling it up from the 1/32nd scale AMT kit.
From the photos that I did find the rear end of the truck has to be wide enough to accommodate the two jet engines side by side so I would think that the AMT chassis is fairly accurate.
