Hi, I built this a few years back, It uses a resin hood from spaulding trading & shipping, I cut the grille out & replaced it with 1mm plastic rod the chassis is a reworked revell 359 die cast metal, with homemade aluminium tanks & stacks on can type silencers, the cab is from amt,sleeper from revell all sprayed metallic blue from a can, stripes are homemade then clear coated in with humbrol acrylic. Chrome parts are finished with Alclad .  Thanks for looking.
