I got this kit only because I had a Detroit Series 60 diesel from Clint Freeman Components & this kit just came out from Revell. Changes made were---integrating cab and sleeper as one ( by curving a peice of plastic and making a cap )---installing & plumbing the new diesel---velco mud flaps---headache rack---GPS dome---warning signal lights---"masking tape" bug shield---chrome rear lights---2 hole buds on rear. The paint is automobile black cherry ( what I have on my 1 to 1 scale ) with 3 coats of clear.

I still think you are taking pics of real trucks and passing them off as models. LOL

That's interesting! I'm building a replica of my old 1/1 Freightshaker, too! I took the Detroit engine from an Italeri Pete 378. I got a condo cab from Matt Burnett, before he started doing the mid-roof. I cut the cab down and made a new roof for it.

I gave it this name cause the older COE freightliners I drove SHOOK soon bad on take-off, you had to re-start your heart. LOL

Seriously, if that had been sitting on a sidewalk or driveway; I would've thought it was real.
