The real rig was so massive Maryland had to re-write the some of the highway laws to make it road legal.

Thank you for the kind comments.

Next suggestion for that trailer might be like the old Lionel train sets which had a roof slide back to reveal either a helicopter or , nowadays, a drone................Hmm

Somehow I didn't get printed here .

   This nice piece of work must've given you some headaches ! The finish is great and the sheer size of the thing is mind - boggling . I like the slides and the interior . I think it's good you used a little license . It seems the rear wheels might be a tad to far forward . How the heck am I going to get into Shipleys Donuts with that ?      T.B.

Man, I bet that thing is a hassle in the McDonald's drive-thru.  Gorgeous model, though I'd expect the real thing to be a bit unwieldy on the road.  

Impossible to get into a Dunkin Donuts parking lot, too !
I really like the finished model !

I like the overall results and the custom decals certainly help it stand out.

It's 1/25 Scale, and i couldn't find the actual cab in kit form so i used the 1/25 Moebius ProStar Cab. and custom made everything else including the frame underneath.

I used reference photos and some equations to scale out the rig, it may not of came out perfect, but with artistic license it came out well.

All the decals were custom made by me.

Hello!

A very ambitious project - a lot of work in it! I just looked the real thing up on the net and that made me think - if you already put so much work in your model, wouldn't it be good to make the extra effort and get a Kenworth cab for it? Also, the position of the rear axles looks much more natural on the real thing, whereas on the model the rear overhang seems just too much. Anyhow, I respect your dedication and the time and work, that went into this model. I'm looking forward to see more of your work. Thanks for sharing, good luck with your next builds and have a nice day

Paweł

All comments and critique welcomed. Thanks for your honest opinions!

NICE !

What scale?

I'm not very familiar with truck kits, did you start off with a truck kit and scratch build everything else?

Do you use Airsoft on the projects that don't work out?Wink

Makes me think back to the days when children were actually allowed to use BB air rifles in the back yard to "dispose of " their projects.Big Smile
