I used to build models when I was a kid. I always wanted to build this one and never could find it for less than 100 bucks. Thanks for offering this model at a great price! I will be back for more.

Great detail. Exciting and challenging model to build, with 280+ parts. The parts are molded in white, chrome, red and amber, so you don't have to paint on the lights. The tilting sleeper cab is a nice feature. That makes for a nice visual display. Nicely detailed. I made coiled three air hoses (painted telephone wire), and attached them behind the cab. But there are a couple comments on the kit. The wheel/tires have to pressed and snap fit into the molded plastic axles, which would sometimes cause the axle to break, or not turn freely. A metal rod may have been a better axle material. The installation/sequencing procedures for the pivoting hinges was unclear. The parts numbers on the instructions sheet did not agee with the parts numbers stamped on the sprue tree. But the instructions did include a correct layout/numbering of the sprue trees. it would have been nice if a decal was provided of the instrument panel, so that the chrome dash board didn't have to be painted.

Nicely detailed I will agree, but the unclear directions and lack of part numbers or left or right designations on the sprues led me to make some crucial mistakes. I put the cab hinges on backwards and then the fun began! Do yourself a favor and and study the drawings and test fit the cab to the chassis beforehand. The hinge pins need to point forward! Pictures to follow.
