Great work. The airbag suspension on the trailer is well done, and I like that it was made from common everyday items. A lot of work invested into a great looking model.

This knight is definitely one of a kind, and you should be proud.:):):) The interior is super, as well as the whole truck and trailer combo. Love the paint scheme, and the whole exhaust hooked up to the engine. You are very good at what you do.:D;):):cool: Keep it up buddy.:):):)

Very, very nice truck. You did an excellent job on all the details you added. Building air bags from common items was brilliant :cool: One of my favorite aspects of this hobby, working with what you have around you.

Every now and then, its nice to see a truck of this scale of work posted from start to finish in one post.:)
