The Peterbilt 378 is recognised for its solid appearance and driver comfort. This model reflects those hallmarks, offering builders a compact study of a well known long-distance rig.

Construction Experience

Expect a hands-on build with multiple small components that require careful handling. The kit rewards patience with accurate panels and chassis detail when assembled cleanly.

Build time varies by skill and attention to detail, but plan several weekends for careful assembly, painting and finishing for a neat result.
Dry-fitting parts before gluing helps confirm alignment and reduces gaps. Use model cement or cyanoacrylate where appropriate for secure joints.
Clean mould lines, add subtle washes and use fine brushes for small metal finishes to make wheels and chassis components stand out.
Apply a clear matt or gloss varnish as appropriate to seal paint layers. Keep models in a dust-free display case to maintain finishes.
