Jim Groeneweg built this Peterbilt 378 SBFA with decals added to the tanker since it last appeared in a photo. The truck tractor is a Jacobs Models resin cast cab/bunk with Wiking fuel tanks, Promotex Ford Aeromax chassis, Athearn spoke wheels, Dennis Aust breathers; all other detail items are scratchbuilt! The tanker started out as two Kibri bulk tankers that were joined together and a midsection grafted in to give it some height with scratchbuilt frame/fenders. All detail items (hose/pipes, etc) were made from aluminum tubing with a photo etched cat walk (modified Lonestar) and brass ladder. It rides on Athearn trailer spoke wheels painted in a custom mix grey acrylic enamel. Decals are from J-Bot, A-Line, and home PC.
