  1. And truckers prefer conventional to cabovers.
  2. A Volvo "High Roof" day cab is referred to as the Eurotrotter cab. A day cab with sleeper above the cab. A Volvo "High Roof" full sleeper cab is referred to as the Globetrotter cab. I don't know what MAN trucks calls them. In Europe and many other countries, total rig lengths are strictly regulated. Having the shortest prime mover length leaves more space for trailer length payload. Also the maneuverability of the set back front axle configuration is the de facto set up in most other regions outside of North America.
  3. Spot on Atki mate. Australian lorries were more similar to what the Yanks road on their Motorways. Similar working conditions.
  4. I have read from European truck modelers that it looks like it is designed to be built with several modifications.
  5. Great subject, state of the art detail. They are way over due for a new American truck kit.
  6. Great subject. Can you fill the tank with beer?
  7. All the details are there. Another great effort realized..
  8. I thought you were going to use the Czech Truck Model late model Astro grille.
  9. The decision was already green lighted by the time the development was shown on this forum for the first truck and trailer kits. The next big rig project is just in the discussion stages.
  10. As was posted in another thread, Moebius will be offering Super Singles for their International tractors as well their van trailers. Both trailers will be reissued and there will be new big rig related subjects in the future.
  11. Wait till you see the grill and mirrors. This would look great with the Ertl Great Dane reefer. Period correct.
  12. A fine kit. It's time for Revell to reissue it.
  13. Saw your Ford project.  Up to your usual standards.  I want to order the same spoke wheels and fuel tanks from Auslowe.  How did you order them?  Did you use PayPal?  Did you use their web page.  Thanks for the info in advance.
