Lee Drennen’s 1/43 AMT 1970 Peterbilt 359 Heavy Hauler

[Lee Drennen]

Here’s a 1/43 AMT Peterbilt 359 that I’m making into a Medium Heavy Hauler. I plan on adding some after market parts to it including a Medium Duty wench. I have several of these in the stash and they always been one of my favorites of the whole AMT line of models.
