"Only" a year and 4 months +/- from start to finish!   K&S sheet aluminum used for cab corner wind deflectors.  No rear mud flaps per prototype practice - they were fitted to trailer fenders.  Shorty fuel tanks make l-o-n-g 72" drive axle spread look even longer.  Frame and some of the other items aren't grey anymore - it is a Detroit engine after all! |

Thanks guys! Some "deadline pressure" did help with getting this one done, Toronto model car show Saturday coming up (22'nd). I was hoping to get some other models completed as well but had to focus on just one as time has been very limited this month (and last) with a couple courses and being involved with more of our fire department training sessions than some other months.

wow
this is really a grate build. Verry realistic and authentique. There are a lot of details that make it special. Your work is on a verry high level. The rear suspentiuon gives to it a special powergull apparence. Love that build!
