Promoting Excellence in HO Scale Vehicle Modeling

Arnold Bros. Peterbilt 389 Truck Tractor - By Jim Groeneweg


Jim Groeneweg tells us he finally finished this model he started some time ago, an Arnold Bros. Transport Peterbilt 389 with Stoughton trailer. The trailer is a Walthers 53’ model. Jim acquired the trailer decals from a friend so is not sure of the source. The truck tractor is a Jacobs Models resin cab with hood and detail items from Norscot mounted on a modified Norscot chassis. Jim cut the windshield free and flush mounted it and installed side glass stock. Boley wheels and tires were added along with scratchbuilt mirrors and quarter fenders along with Ralph Ratcliffe Models resin air horns. Paint is authentic ABT colors painted with Auto base clear paint. Alclad II was used for the chrome details.
