I own a real one I used on my property in Maine, so I bought the 1/35 Trumpeter M915 semi truck kit and scale it up to 1/25. For the i/25 kit I used as a starting point an AMT International Paystar kit. My real one seems to cause a stir when I go to town to fuel it. Seems the "Happy Face" on it attracts children.

I’m on my way to bed but I’m coming back to this one tomorrow Paul. I have a pair of 1/25 Kenworths that are 90%+ scratch built that make this look tiny. Both are oil field units used both in the U.S. and the Middle East. I'll post them up over the next few weeks. |

I'm down with any HET related builds Paul and these turned out very well. Love all the details you put into the 1/25th version and the camo came out GREAT on the 1/35 scale build. Did you by chance put the smiley face on the differential of the 1/25 scale build?
