I have a few of them myself in my collection and they are very hard to customize. I bought both Italeri Custom boxes for them but have done nothing to them yet. Maybe sometime in the future. I like this one though as it shows a plain jane work horse of the Autobahns in every since. Great job.

Nice clean build. I have found that customizing a Euro truck is similar to a US truck once the styles are learned. I have been tinkering with this same kit & am headed in this direction. Ap40 Attachments:

Joris,
Your model looks good. I am not sure, but to customize a Euro truck it seems you need at least two of the Michelein men , you know the little round tire guys. I have been meaning to ask about that.It seems Europeans have a thing for that little guy???

Rick, Now that is the kind of Euro rig I like. The heavy haul tractors! Gator Nice clean build. I have found that customizing a Euro truck is similar to a US truck once the styles are learned. I have been tinkering with this same kit & am headed in this direction. Ap40 |

Thank you guys! We do have some nice euro tractors here, the Volvo FH has always been a favorite. But euro rigs just don't 'do it' for me; I prefer the US trucks and styles.
By the way, that Bolk heavy hauler is a nice looking one!
