Sharp looking tri axle. Nice cab guard.........  a few little things that can improve it in big ways, the exhaust tips, If aluminum, (or styrene) deepen the hole in the center & thin down the wall thickness at the top surface. then apply flat black paint to the inside of the bore. a near sharp edge is close to a accurate scale wall thickness. For more details, look at my HOW 2 here- www.thetimbershop.proboards.com/thread/629/curved-aluminum-exhaust-tipsAlso, on the rear run up ramp & last axle fender / mud flap. The flap & fender should be very close to the rear of the tire. Plus the ramp should come down a bit farther & have a slightly greater incline to the 5th wheel. In addition, the 5th wheel should be raised up a scale 3" (1/8") to allow clearance for the trailer neck, especially on un-even ground. Here is a photo of a 2006 Peterbilt 379-119 tri-axle with factory rear ramps & close fitting diamond plate fenders& flaps.  Happy Holidays, Ap40 |

I like the look of this one!!
Very interesting!! lol My kind of truck especially with a lowboy on the back of it!
I like the headache rack and the beacons. Where did you get them? What kit did you use for this one?
Other than what Rick pointed out. I would suggest a little black wash in the door jam area and the mesh on the exhaust screen. This would add some depth to both areas.
Be Well
Gator

Gator I used the Revell snap kit. The headache rack is from A.I.T.M.
The beacon lights are from Auslowe.
Once again thank you for your comments.
