Here are some photos of next work on chassis. I made some footbridge from some profiles and mesh is from kitchen digestor (aluminium fat filter - Fagor digestor). Than I used some wash and light rust mixture...

Very impressive work Pavel, inspiration for taking an in inexpensive truck kit and following your steps and building along one can build a nice super detailed truck.

Here is some short update. Cabin and hood are airbrushed in white, after than I made a front window sealing. Than short polish, because will come a light weathering.

Chromed parts are dechromed and I applied Alclad chrom on it. Now it´s time for PE parts. Grill is under construction, so as the marks and signs KW. Ready are raindrops covers on exhauts. Also decals from Modeltruckin are apllied. Pavel.

Pavel....You got some MAD skills, Man....This truck is looking fantastic....I've never a snapper that looked more realistic than this one....Wow!!!!! This thing is NICE!!!!!

JT thanx. I must to tell that very important is using of a photoetched parts...these parts can "to catapult" model very very high. Next is using of realistic decals. I make all track only from my head and from photos. I saw real U.S.truck maybe three times in my life and I'm 36.:)

We have here in Europe only the "boxes" trucks. I can tell that eurotrucks are without soul, it is only workers... But it is my opinion...Pavel.

Pavel, I wouldn't say "without soul", as far Euro trucks go....I kinda wish they'd import some of those things....You guys have to pack so much into such a "small" amount of space.....By comparison..... I guess it would be hard to really "shake things up", but I think they do a pretty good job....I'd have to say my favorite truck, these days, is that new Volvo FH16...Or even that new Merc Actros....Man, those are cool looking trucks....For me, anyway..... :)

Yes JT I understand. My favourite are old models from DAF (especially 3300 turbo) or all models from Scania....

KW is 95% done. Next will be placed photos of a finished model. Pavel.
