      My dad drive trucks for 40 years. I started build them when I was 13 now I’m 58 and still build models. And RC Planes. The kits were around $20 back in the early 70’s.

    Nice build great presentation, for those that do not know, this is the ITALERI peterbilt 378 kit just repackaged, that is a Detroit Diesel Series 60 500HP motor, I love Revell AG and ITALERI truck kits.

    i've been a model builder for most of my life. i can say without a doubt that this kit is the most detailed and beautiful rig kit i've ever seen. can't afford the big rig kits but i can see the reason for the cost here. great job on the construction.

    I built this kit years ago but it was by Italeri. What a beautiful kit. I did the box image which was metallic blue with the silver stripes. I'm OCD so there was not one of the beautiful details left untouched. It looks like the real thing. Was definitely one of my favorite kit builds.

    This is a beautiful tractor. This looks like it went together trouble free but you are an expert. I did notice that you left off the two convex mirrors. There also are no cb antennas. I purchased two kits. I want to make one look like my personal 379 and I also purchased two amt reefer trailers that you built. I hope mine come out as close as yours did. I'm amazed at how easy you make it look to paint and build. I'm going to use the little tricks you showed us. Thanks for sharing your technique and builds with us you are the man at building.

    I used to build big rig kits. If you watch big rig rolling interviews stretched out long and low tractors are popular. My favorite kit I did was a cab over Freightliner that I stretched the frame from pieces from other kits pulling a cattle trailer.

    One of the reasons this kit is so nice is that it is not an AMT kit, it is a reissue of the Italeri 378 kit that they have been making since 1997. It has been reissued several times and this is just the latest and it is done by Round2/AMT. Italeri kits are always great kits, lots of details and always go together very well. BTW, that is a Detroit 60 series engine. Each engine maker has its own color.
    Thanks for the great review. I will be getting one soon.

    You make model making looks easy and relaxing, its so inspiring especially for people like me ( or maybe others) that love plastic model building as much as hate to spends alot on material (paint, detail kit etc.). I see you using all purpose paint which are much cheaper and also using amateur style painting straight from the can without decanting for airbrush etc. and still looks good, watching other channel looks superb but also intimidating (for me). Your model building videos are really inspiring sir.

AMT usually does a really good job of getting details correct, but having driven several Peterbilt 379, 378 and 359s over the last 30 years, I see stuff that is incorrect, and drives me crazy! but, as usual, a great build.

    Great video and model. Think I’ll get one to put together. But I have a question not really related to this video. When doing a two tone paint job, like a white top and green body, how do you get the residue from the tape off the white paint that you masked off to paint the green body? I don’t want to use something that would ruin the white paint job?

    • @hpiguy

      Use low tack tape. That's the best way to not have to fix things later.

    Another beautiful big rig build they are my favorites and love seeing how you detail them been putting some of your techniques to use. Can't wait to add this kit to my stash so I can finally do the correct Black Dog truck build.

    I’ve noticed that this is the only truck to have a Detroit 60 series instead of a Cummins NTA855 Big Cam or Cat 3406A/B IDITA/DITA. I love buying center parts and customizing 1/32 scale and other 1/24 scale trucks. The stacks from a 1/24 or 1/25 look great on the 1/32. Sea foam green works for the 60 series Detroit but we have one at my FD that is all black with a silver valve cover

    I've done big rig builds before and I believe they were Monogram but this is a beauty of a tractor. You did an awesome job with this one. A blue or black exterior color would have made them decals pop for sure but I like the red as well. Again great job on this build. Love it. Keep On Truckin. 😊👍

    Chris, that was an excellent review and build on the Peterbilt 378! You can tell this was the original Italeri Peterbilt 378 molds. All the same parts. I built a couple of the Italeri kits back in 2002. I know what you mean about the grey primer being bad. I recently had that issue with a can I bought. Keep up the good work Sir!

    I always have trouble with the tandem tires and wheels going together in a glue model, not snap. You have a video on how to glue the sets of tandem rear tires and wheels together if they have the wheel lip? Great video's, keep em coming.

      Glue the rims together, let it dry, then push the hollow tires over the wheels.

    Nice build! I like what AMT did with the decals, I hope they get more kits like this in the near future. I have built this one and modified it to look like a short hood 379. I painted it like a vintage Laidlaw tractor based on some internet pictures I found. I was a bit mistified with the multi piece cab at first but it did go together perfectly. It is a great kit to build honestly. Good job with yours by the way.
