Peterbilt 579 Truck Tractors & Pneumatic Bulk Trailers - By Bob Johnson


The recently released Trucks N' Stuff pneumatic bulk trailer is the answer to a long awaited request from 1/87 scale truck modelers for an affordable model of this type trailer. Bob Johnson upgraded his fleet of pneumatic bulk trailers on display at the 2022 Midwest Meet/St. Louis RPM Meet with a replacement photo-etched rear ladder and vastly upgraded wheels. The Peterbilt 579 truck tractors above and below have been upgraded with Peterbilt oval openings aluminum style wheels that utilize the original Trucks N' Stuff tires (a forthcoming offering from Masterbilt Models). Each of the 579s also feature headlight decals from Precision Design (Bill Brillinger) that will also be available from Masterbilt Models.
