it looks wonderful, I just have to ask though, was it this kit?

 If it is, I saw it down at my LHS and thought about getting it, but didn't know how it'd be, I've never built anything other than cars and a few snap together airplane/gundam kits.  Did it come with all the detail or was a lot of it added in?  I think my fav part is the coils on the rear of the cab

That would be the one.  A lot was added + - to the starter, wireing harness and the 7 way wire/plug and air lines for the trailer all i did was cut off a peace of the tree and drilled a small hole took some tell-phone  wire or the thick small gauge wire rap it around a pen that thing that hold the ink? and there you have it , now it also work out good for spark plug wire on 1/24th car,truck,just about any thing.

I haven't built that kit yet, but everything I've heard is it is a decent kit. Don't let the fact it is a snap kit turn you off, it has decent detail, and you can't beat a 1/24 semi kit for $20.

Nice job, a couple of the pics are blurry but the ones that are clear look like you added quite a bit of detail to it.

Yeah it's not too bad for a snappy.  I'm working on one too.  Mine is in red though, with cat yellow on the engine.

I love how you did the airhoses, that is an often left out detail, even on kits by Evan Hermel.
