Very good looking Inter there, arcturus, the paint scheme is totally realistic. is it 1/24 scale? Man, it must be HUGE. Cheers

Very nice work on this truck build. Looks like it is ready for the road.

superb, looks very good. I like how it has been photographed outside but not in bright sunshine. Makes it look more realistic.

I'm not a massive truck builder as they take up time and space and cost quite a bit here in the UK, so I'm not great at building them, but I love 70's trucks especially so couldn't resist this one.

It's a very detailed kit, and quite weighty. The only draw back which is age related rather than the build quality is the chrome surface is a bit fragile, the inner cab base was a little warped making hard to install the cab, and the decals quite thick but not very adhesive making contours a head ache.
But anyway, it's a handsome truck.
