Thank you Juergen

[Foxer]

I'd cut my finger on the sharpness of this build!

[Oldmopars]

I love this, not only is it a great subject, a turbine 4070, but the build quality is outstanding. 4070 is my favorite truck ever and this one is amazing. I never knew that made a turbine 4070. Very cool and very well done.
