That's some really impressive styrene work. Are you planning just the truck, a 'straight frame trailer' like an aircraft fuel truck, or seperate truck and trailer?
Thanks dude. It's mostly boxes and a decent set of reference drawings. No plans yet, but do have a colour (DB 6277 LKW GrĂ¼n) - looks like this:



Haven't given the loadout much thought. Probably just something like the picture below, which really captures the essence of the truck as I remember it from my childhood.



Made some progress today. Cut out the pieces I'll need for the hinges on the grill. M1.6 and M2 bolts arrived, but no nuts, so that's as far as the hinges went.



Made a start on the inside instead. The floor is done, bar the clean-up.





Happily there's heaps of space in there for an engine.
