This rig is a sort of copy of a truck I use to drive many moons ago in the southern suburbs of my home town until it was taken over by a major oil company. The truck a Scania T144m is built from the Italeri kit and the tanker is wots left of an early to mid 70's Testor kit after one of our cats knocked it for a 6 (as we say), I was going to bin the tanker til I struck on this idea so here is the result.

Yea rronning84 the tanks colour was red & yellow (Shell colours) so I left it as was then I painted the cab blue as that's the colour the company ran way back then from memory I'm not sure but I think the tank on the rigs where the Shell colours coz wghen Shell took over it ran those coours I drove for a short time after the takever but the then boss of the company who was a Shell man found out I din't have a DG license so I had to leave not tht I really cared they got hard to work for in th end.
