I got this one form Todd last week... It's gonna be another replica build of one of the Teo Zachinni & Sons carnival fleet!!!! I learned to drive semi on a truck similar to this....
Here's the pics.....
The cab is painted with Testors Gloss White, & will have red & blue stripes depicting the "New' paintjob.....

The Detroit Deisel engine is painted with waterbased craft paint....


Here's the mostly finnished chassis.... I painted the wheels white, that's what they were on the 1:1....

I've also got the fuel tanks & stacks installed, along with the associated pipes.... I'll have more pics up tommorow or Thursday.... Thanks for bearing with me, & thanks for looking!!!! ;D

Boy Dan, that rig is coming along nicely! How do kick them out so fast? It seems to take me forever to get my trucks built! I can't wait to see this rig done. Great work Buddy!!!
