Hey guys this is my Revell Pete Snap Tite that I removed the stock sleeper from and extended the frame to accommodate the new custom built sleeper.
I have gone back and fixed the tires and rims since these photos were taken because I just could not stand them the way they were!

The graphics on this truck were designed by me and digitally printed on high performance graphic vinyl that is used to do car wraps.

These pictures are of the Pete with the scratch built transporter trailer that I built for it out of .060 styrene. I sold this trailer on Ebay and someday I may build another one to go with this truck if I can find the shelve space for it and have a case built to keep it clean! Paulie

If I remember the overall length was close to 40" or 42" because the trailer is a 53 footer in 1/24th Scale Paulie

Thanks guys for all the kind words.
and Kostas you are right I wish sometimes I had not sold the trailer because of all the work that went into it. Yes I have the plans I built it from and yes I can do another one but the question is do I want to do another one?
Again thank you all for your comments.
