Hello! long time posting something now, but here is what i've been doing :)
Revells Daf XF 105 Space cab in scale 1/24, my first ever truck in this scale and it was a fun build, not as many small parts as i'm used to in 1/35 and you could do alot of details and options.
I tried out some painting with AlcladII chrome on the mirrors and the cover over the back frame, the blue paint is Vallejo gun metal covered with 2 layers of tamiya transparent blue.
Hope you like it B) i still have some work on the trailer for this one!

Bagge, that Euro truck looks really good. I've never really tried a truck model, but I might try one, as a Dare to be Different style model. Maybe I could find an AMT Racecar Hauler. I had one that I started, until a small fire destroyed the truck. We'll have to see if I can find one of the Orange Blossom Special kits. I could build the truck and sell the puller truck.
