That is a good looking build Dave, I really like it.
The colors go good together and I like the other little details you have done.

As far as engine colors go, I saw a Mack F-series COE one time with a Mack V8 that was painted Caterpillar yellow. Just saying that sometimes engines don't get painted the correct colors in real life.
I really like this build. I have a logging truck I built many years ago with the 12R24 RNK tires and wheels and those Paystars look great with them. I did stretch my rear walking beams to a 60" spread. The kits 56" was a little tight for the big tires.
Dave, here is something I found out a long time ago. I'm such a stickler for making everything perfect that I never get anything built. Kudos to getting something built.
