Movie 'Black Dog' Pete.......

[Dave Van]

This build was inspired by the movie Black Dog......a GREAT B movie. DO NOT bother telling me I used the wrong Pete to build my model. When I was looking at what I needed to build a correct Black Dog Pete and how expensive it would be.....I went with the under $20 Revell Monogram kit....which is a decent kit BTW. Most people will never know!!! 

I made all the decals used. Tags too. 

The kit was built box stock other than the 'wings' added to the sleeper and the treadplate that a big fight scene, at speed, takes place.....I had to add them. Otherwise Tamiya paints and decals I made myself. I want to build the raggy trailer to go with it.....someday!! Thanks

Looks great.  You're right, these Revell snap trucks do build up well.

Nice looking 359.  Very well done.  I think I saw that movie.  Wasn't Patrick Swayze in it?

Nicely done! I've wanted to build a replica of this rig, but like you said it gets expensive real quick.

GREAT BUILD!!!!  Super Sanitary!!!!  

I too have enjoyed building a few of the "snap" kit trucks, like your's, they build into a real nice shelf model...

One of Randy's best. My wife met Randy a few times. His mom was in a rest home my wife worked at. A truly nice guy who always talked to my wife and was polite.  thx
