Damm I did my Multi Combination licence in one of those. I found the best part of these are the cable driven non syncro gearbox. There a great highway truck, but not that good in small areas with a lot of blind spots. One of these are my next project once i finish the scania road train. So what are you using as a base ?

I have thought about the freightliner oh so many times as I have seen it on the turnpike heading to work.....Gotta love cabovers

Not really liking that grill on the red one though, it reminds me too much of a scania IMO


Will keep a wacth on this build either way

this is the only one i could find as they don't go on sale here till about September, October and at the Brisbane truck show they had it behind glass.
hope it helps. the front of the cab is about the only thing that has changed except for the floor of the cab which has been raised up a bit to allow for the euro 5 engine
