Hello Everybody,
I want to show you my current project:
A US truck based on a Peterbilt 351 (like a 281 but with 2 drive axles). it is not quite finished. - There are still missing: Interior details, wipers, license plates, hood spanner, driver, and what I can think of ....
The truck will later used for this trailer

The truck consists of a frame Wedico and a Wedico cab. The hood is made of brass, the radiator frame is from Wedico but it is made smaller. The cab is directly mounted on the frame. In the frame is mounted the servo for steering, the electric motor and the speed controller. Under the dorrsteps are the switches for lights and turn signals. The hood is completely filled by the Accu (12V 2400mA, NiMH). It's all about pretty tight. The recipient of FrSky is under the passenger seat.
Oh yes, the truck is pretty scruffy .... Painted is the truck with gray primer over with clear lacquer mixed rust. The rust I've made using a scouring pad and vinegar. Then came clear coat on it. Here again the top blue paint and again clear topcoat.
In reality, the blue color is not as intense as in the pictures.
Here are many pictures
Thanks
