Bought this kit at Ollies last month, decided to build it up quick. Has Diamond Reo stripes on it, concerted to a single exhaust with a scratchbuilt frame mount/exhaust support, and custom made Peterbilt mudflaps.

Very nice. Recently finished my first big rig tractor (Autocar A64B), and am about to finish my first trailer (gravel hauler). Think I'm gonna try a cabover.

That's awesome! Both great kits. I've done the autocar dump truck 2 times and the tractor once. My suggestion for your first cabover would be the new release international transtar 4070a. Then after you're comfortable with That, try a 352 or a white freightliner. Can't go wrong with either!

Thanks for the advice.

Like the paint choices on this one, yellow shocks, black air bags and white Detroit.  IMO, the  custom single stack looks much better than the kits cluttered dual stacks.
