Peterbilt 281 - DUEL

I'm working on this "movie" model. It would be a simple small model ( 1:72 scale) but...so I was getting involved with the project, i was becoming interesting more and more for it...well, now it's a well detailed model, i hope this will not be very complicated to make in this small scale.
As soon as possible i will post some images here

I'm a big fan of the film and the truck so I look forward to following this thread. I'm sure you know this site already but just in case this is about the surviving Duel truck and has some useful pictures on.

I made a mistake, the scale that i'm working is 1:50 and not 1:72, but i always make another big size model, in this case , a 1:33 scale. I think 1:25 is very large for a truck, and it would demand a lot of details. But i think that 1:33 is a nice scale.

I'd seen another page 10-4 Magazine - For Today's Trucker
But in this page you show me, there is a fantastic side view of the whole!

Ditto all this. Excellent Film and to have a model of the truck would be great too. Look forward to more up-dates
