meechum68 Posted June 8 Posted June 8 This is my first Semi Truck and Trailer with my first time doing rust. I am very happy with how this turned out. I will be building another trailer for the Truck done in the same blue as well. I will also be building a day cab (not sure what) that will match the trailer. I hadn't done any weathering or what not on this as it was my first go, and since I know I can do these big trucks well, I will be detailing and the like on future trucks. Thanks for looking!
meechum68 Posted June 8 Author Posted June 8 Thanks @PappyD340 My first truck and now I have the confidence to do another with detail and weathering.
Force Posted June 11 Posted June 11 Looks nice for your first truck build, but it would look even better if the rear wheels was mounted as they should be. Here is how they should look, quite a noticable difference. The lip on the wheels goes inside the tires...like this. This is not an uncommon thing and many don't think about it and mount the wheels from the front as on most kits...but that's not the case on the Revell US snap kits. Don't get me wrong, it's just a friendly tip to make even better models in the future. 1
