So, it's been a while since the last post, here is one I have finished not long ago. Freightliner FLC with some mild changes from the box, decals from Modeltruckin', photo etch parts like nameplates, flap weights, chicken lights and supports from KFS, drive tires from Auslowe, exhaust stand pipes from the Australian Western Star and sleeper from the FLD kit. The wheels of the Moebius trailer swtched to bigger Italeri rims and tires to better match the truck. most decals on the trailer also from Jerry Reeter. Spread axle with scratch built tool boxes, same flap weights as the freight. Color is Tamya pure white and  Duplicolor Ford dark green.

Wow! That is an excellent build. This has to be the best build of this kit I've seen to date. Great job 

Those are excellent kits to start with! Everything fits! And also, the trailer is 4 inches wide, just like the tractor! It"s like they're meant for each other!

Now, that's what I'm talking about.....Awesome work.....As I had suspected, the swap of the stock wheels to an  Italeri set, did the job.....Outstanding work....I've got a Volvo planned for one of these trailers.....Looks great with the spead, too.....May have to think about that one for myself.....Awesome work on the tractor, too....That is beautiful.....Gotta do that with my FLC.....Again, beautiful work.....

You know, an orange FLC with a white stripe similar to the one I put on this one, with orange trim on the Great Dane would look smashing... Just sayin'!

I really like the aftermarket treatment. Nice job, and it looks good with the reefer. With this combo, the scale difference isn't an issue.

Wow, with the right background I would really have to look to make sure this wasn't a real truck & trailer.

I also have to say this is one of the nicest builds I have ever seen of this kit.  All the extras really made it "pop" !
