Well done

Wow, really nice build

So cool, thanks for sharing

Great discussion guys

Another 3D printer who does high quality work. They are actually present here. https://tx3dcustoms.com/collections/semi-kits

When resin kits become available, I tend to grab them, add to my collection of “ I will build it someday” I grabbed this resin cab from AIM to be built as a curbside, before he shut down his business. This is a picture , not my build of this resin kit

Barry, typically I will use a donor kit for the rolling frame sometimes updating to something more correct for the engine and axles. I have also just scratch built frame rails and find the correct suspension/axles, motor and transmission using companies like Auslowe or ST Supply for those parts. https://www.auslowe.com.au/shop/category/trailer-suspension-kits/374 look thru the WIP big rigs and heavy equipment section and you can see some of the resin cab builds. There are builders here who do amazing work with this type of building.

check out this this shop but he doesn’t do the earlier models. We lost AIM who use to do many of the older trucks. It would be outstanding to see some new kits produced for sure. https://globalscalemodeltrucks.com/collections/frontpage?page=1

Good luck and keep us posted, it’s fun.

Color looks good

It’s a fun kit and yes it has some issues. Built this kit last year.

Lovin the detail

Really good discussion guys, learning some stuff and thanks for sharing.

Nicely done

Outstanding 1:1 build, nice detail.

Here is a drawing I use, not sure how accurate, but a good generic diagram.
