     Jacobus,

                 What you've done thus far looks good. I like the daycab filler panel. Looks good. I also agree with you on the gravel trailer. maybe that Euro one but with dual tires.

The more I look at that cab. The more I like it. Bit I would like to do it with a butterfly hood and pit fenders.

 

 

   Be Well

i think for myself that a thin black stipe between the red and yellow-creme looks good ore...?

Nice save, Jacobus! Over here, a lot of over the road trucks, when they are traded in, or sold by the original owner, get turned into daycabs. A used daycab tractor is worth more than a used road tractor. If the fenders and skirts, over the boxes, were black, your model would look almost exactly like the truck I drove for a sand and gravel company, years ago. Pulled a dark blue, three axle, belly dump with it. Looks awfully familiar. Well done!
