Here is my it Italeri Volvo VN 780, I bought this last year, and what a pain it was finding one of these kits, well it pretty much Box stock. I enjoyed building this kit.

Some say they are rare in the US/Canadian markets, but I haven't had any issues finding them.

You have build a very nice truck.

Maybe you should add some decals of a company.

I like both those Volvos 670/780 from Italeri, despite the fact that there is no engine and no steering wheels option.

These are both nice kits, with a very promising interior to be detailed and of course a very new age fleet truck look. I wish I had bought more of these in the past, cause it looks like they are out stock nowdays here in Greece, especialy the 670.

Would this truck look OK with the new Moebius reefer?

It's the trailer height that might be an issue here. If I take the Italeri for instance, the lenght and the height are good for 1:25 scale, but not high enough for 1:24 scale. Sure looks wierd behind a Volvo or any other high roof 1:24 scale truck because the trailer is actually lower. I am in the process of building one of these Italeri to match my Volvo 670 and had to add about a 1/4 inch to the trailer box.

It's been a well know fact for years that the Italeri trailer is out of proportion. There is at least one extensive thread on that issue on this board.
