We have a few Ottawa spotters at work, for moving trailers, and your cab looks very accurate, compared to those. Great styrene work!

NICE! Reminds me of some of the trucks you see around the airport. You know, all the random airline service trucks etc. Yeah, this is definitely a unique build.

what do plan to use operate the lifting of the fifth wheel? I built a wedico based spotter many years ago and used a motor driven screw to raise the fifth wheel.

Thank you for posting your progress on this truck. Ever since rcguyfarms built his a number of years ago; I have had an interest in them. I think that I will eventually attempt one; if I can just figure out how to make the necessary room for the drive motor AND the elevation gear.

Those are built less than 30 miles from me. Their shop has gotten a lot bigger in the last 10 years with all the business from ports.
