Looking pretty good so far, the 3D printed parts look like they came from model manufacturing companies. Nice job on the green stripes too, they came out quite clean. Nice job!

I like the color and how the truck looks right now. Looking super nice!

You did a fantastic work making the windshield and windows fit perfectly. The cab looks cool too, superb progress so far.

It is looking sooooo good right now!

The scratch building looks like it definitely requires tremendous amount of dedication and work. And the progress is looking remarkable! keep it up!

I have a feeling you will turn this build into an amazing result. Nice prep work so far.

Looks amazing in red. I like the caution stripes too! Good job!

Fascinating work, amazing details, and definitely a luxurious build! I really enjoyed reading and watching the diary/photos!

Classic! Beautiful and colorful. Good job! ?

I like the setup, Alex. And the truck looks awesome with all the customization parts. Lastly, I must say that your choice of “forrest” background goes well with the trucks.

Brilliant work, great detailing indeed! Small details do count and it shows here Thanks for sharing the build.

Looking good! For some reason, the wheels look massive and I am thinking it is due to its Dodge cab being compact. And that makes the truck actually look sporty/powerful.

That looks sharp! You did an excellent work on this, I especially like the tough look of the front.

Coming out nicely, the color combo looks quite good!

Haha, I think you do have a problem, Steve. It would have been still fine if you said you had 7 projects on-going, but we all know the number “8” isn’t normal. I need you to stop opening kits and stay away from anything that says AMT, ETRL, or Revell! ? BTW, your trailer looks very proper! Nice job, indeed!

The truck has a mean tough look! And the bright color is also eye catching! I really like it. You did a fantastic job customizing the way it looks.

You are multitasking now! I can never work several projects at once, I would lose parts or mix up parts. Nice starting so far, the fenders fit like gloves in there. I think I had to also move the front axle to the front by 1/8 inch, but it could be just me building mine.

You are doing an excellent work at this making systematic improvements! Nice progress!

Haha, I see what you mean here on incorrect build instructions. But slow down for me, Håkan. Let me find me a good looking Scania subject from either 80s and 90s. I think their boxy style is at its best from that era! Thank you for your positive comment, Larry! Thank you, Chuck! I totally agree, these truck kits force you to do well, I think things can turn out mediocre quite fast if you are not careful.

Great work on this, everything was executed very well and the finish is high quality!

Perfectly produced! Great job making this look awesome, I really like how it all turned out.

Wow, I guess you don’t do anything that is easy, Gary! This one also looks like it will need some extensive fabrication work. Can’t wait to see how it will all turn out.

Hey Philippe, appreciate your encouragement! Haha, I did notice that the mirror look at the front area is on the opposite side, so I knew something was opposite. Thanks again for riding this build with your support! Thank you, Gary!!! Hi Håkan, thanks for sharing interesting facts about Italeri kits in the WIP thread. I do plan to try out one of the Scania trucks (143 Topline looks super cool), I hope to get valuable feedback from you. And I am thinking they may not be totally accurate, but I would still like to give it a try. Thanks Dan! We will have to explore more methods about tackling the multi piece cab assembly. There has to be an easy way out! Hi Mathias, thanks again for checking this out! It was somewhat frustrating build experience (because I didn't know better), but I am glad it is finally completed. I definitely didn't want this kit to be one of those builds that started out well, but then left untouched for years because something went wrong.

Thanks your supportive feedback on this, Dan! Thank you, Jim! That is an excellent point, a good catch! And I think even after that, the math still works out in terms of how mighty Actros is in terms of the size.
