Top notch! Excellent work. That blue looks great - I really love the finish. What a project, what a finish!

Yeah, thought about the ribs too, helping to disguise the tank diameter. I’ve seen some pretty narrow tank trailers before without ribs, too. Maybe compressed gas or something. Regardless, having it sit on the shelf won’t hurt anything, until the time comes to use it.

Hmm. Trying to think what you could convert it into. Maybe the tank itself could become a load for a flatbed? A tank of that size would have multiple uses in stationary industrial applications, being delivered as new or a retired one hauled for scrap. It could be detailed with the tank base, mounts, piping outlets, etc. Then, the remaining frame could be fitted with a larger diameter tank to complete the original build concept, which was a good idea.

Beautiful truck! As I mentioned over on the MCM forum, I like the fact you spec’d it with the 2-hole steel wheels, making it unique. Excellent paint and finish. One of my favorite cabovers done well.

Another great heavy-hauler.

Welcome to the group, and I have to say, I really like your builds you’ve posted.

Excellent. Great detail, and that bumper ain't messin’ around.

Keep posting, these are good things to see.

You’ve got the start of a good project. Usually when you get someone else’s incomplete project it’s a little, well, Fubar, ya know.

That’s a great looking rig! Nice work. I like the paint colors on the Pete and the uniqueness of the trailers, you don’t see those often modeled.

Hi Gary! Welcome to the forum! I hope you continue to enjoy it.

Looking good thus far, as expected. That’s a classic color. What engine is that from Lindberg?

What are your plans for this build? Paint choice, weathering? Early in it’s career or a survivor that’s mostly retired?

Another good one!

Tiny magnets are perfect for that type of job. Great idea to have opening doors. I’ve used them to hold hoods tightly closed (especially when the fit is less than perfect).
