Default My new project...yes.
The truck...



The trailer...



The trailer goddies. The tri-axle fenders i'm going to cut off some and mount them to the front of the trailer...



The truck goodies. The wide floats I decided not to use, you'll see why...



I decided to use these. The others, I will use on another project...



And the rest.




Thanx for looking, Big John

Big John, you sir are not messing around. When you get 'er going you'll have to take a break and rip a little Scania-Tanker-Truck solo with that Strat in the background.

Looks like a really good idea. I just have ordered a tanker for the Scania R470 for it. Cant wait just thinking to replace the chrome for a silver grey colour like I have seen on petrol tankers in New Zealand, as the Scania is metallic blue.

That sounds like you have a great idea on the colors.
Mine is going to be dark metallic stone grey on the truck body, with medium metallic red frames on truck and trailer...maybe the grey on the tool boxes and support legs I may even go with a b-train two tankers. Tankers are my favorite

Big John, great looking project. I'll be looking forward to seeing this as a completed project. I've been looking at the Scania for some time now, thinking I need one of these in my fleet too! Just one?

What was the source for the kit and accessories?

More pictures, please.

Awesome color choice John! Grabber green is one of those colors that looks good on anything.....seen it on 3/4 ton truck frames, engine blocks.....looks good no matter where it's applied!

LOL Paul, I can always depend on you to give me a chuckle...Thanx buddy.
The metallic black is fighting me. Some places are glossy, and some places are flat. I might change the color.

Thanx jjackso5, I really like the Scania. I also might get another and stretch the frame.
If you're asking where I got the truck and accessories, I got the truck from Tower Hobbies, and the goodies from Ric Murphy at Precision Models.
Any more questions, don't hesitate to ask.

Thanx DieselKid. Funny you mentioned engine block, because the grabber green is actually for engines.
And you're right it looks good on anything.
