marcay Posted February 3, 2013 Author Share Posted February 3, 2013 hi guys my little work for this morning 2 prototyp of windshield it will be a 3th lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBad Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 thanks Clavender17 I continue my small job drilling holes for lateral lights in the bumper with red past, it's easier to see its seems correct but say me : too small or? Nice work The blinkers seem to be the right size, so I would leave them the way you traced them already. I have a concern about the fog light hole location on the passenger side though. It seems to be a little to far to the right compared to the driver's side. Check it out on your pictures. But otherwise this truck is taking shape very nicely. I'm always surprised how you Europeans are so interested and thorough in your North American truck builds! Bon travail Mec! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcay Posted February 3, 2013 Author Share Posted February 3, 2013 bonjour Robert!! I like your french sentence! you'r right for the fog light! the hole were here ,its the kit, perhaps can I repear this! ..... I shall re-drill it!!!! I have just finish the windshield American trucks are legends in Europe for the lenght, big sleeping-box, big engines, small driving cab with old movies like Convoy or Duel there is an official dealer for Kenworth in France, And Mack Belong to Renault trucks/Volvo Mack was imported in Europe since the end of WWI , and B and R models in the end of 50' and now we can see "Ice road Truckers" on TV thierry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your english is actually pretty good, some anglophone people who write in forums sometimes do worse! And yes, some of the trucks we have in North America are pretty awesome! Just to be different I'd like to model an americanized prototype of a cabover Volvo someday. Edited February 3, 2013 by BigBad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

george 53 Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Thierry, I DON'T see no disaster. I see a BEAUTIFUL truck in the makeing!!! I WISH someone (a Model Co.) would make this as a regular kit. It's probably one of the most beautiful designed trucks on the road. I get REAL tired of seein ALL the same crackerbox semi tractors. At least THIS style was UNIQUE! I still like this truck ALOT!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
