My Volvo FH16 Box Art build

[Oldmopars]

So, I wanted to build on of the Italeri 1/24 kits. This was my first. I must say the quality of the kits are far better than the AMT/ERTL etc kits. This kit I wanted to just build mostly box art style. However I did decide to paint the frame a metallic blue. So, its no show truck, but it turned out OK.

Thank you. My next Italeri is a Scania 143H 6x2 with stake bed. I hope to finish it with much more detail and less of a out of the box build.

Good looking truck, Man....I like these Euro rigs....Italeri does a pretty good job producing kits that build up well....As a matter of fact, the Italeri Ford Aeromax is what got me started building big trucks way back in 1999.....Good job, Man....

Nice.
Has Italeri finally changed the old TD120F wich has been in all their Volvo kits since the F12 to a newer more D16 like engine?
As far as I'm concerned Italeri's lack of interest to update and do correct engines and drive train for their kits doesn't do it for me and I haven't bought an Italeri Volvo or Scania kit for a very long time.

Nice job on the Volvo. Having been stationed in Germany for many years, the European trucks have a place in my heart.

I like the Italeri kits due to everything fitting and the details are great. I am working on a Pete 359 with NOS Peerless log trailer. I get annoyed every time I pull it out due to the poor fit and finish of every single part. The interior tub is so bad I just junked it and built my own. 

I travel a lot, every week. I mostly fly, but sometimes I drive. When I drive I will take a few kits and supplies with me on my trip to work on in the hotel. I got one the the AMT Gravel trailers and started to sand off all the flash. By the time I was done with it, it looked like I had a Cocaine party in my room, there was white dust everywhere! I can only imagine what the maid thought.
