Freightliner Coronado based on a Knight Hauler
 
Hi
Another Great Build from my Friend Michael.
A lot of Handcrafted Parts replace the Plastic Chrome from the Kit.
The Complete Drivetrain including Tranny and Axle Housing is made from Aluminium(Gtdcnc).
The Grill is from Modellbau Müller.
Michael made every other Alu Part by himself.

Another great looking truck! I really like those tail lights. More so the bezels that are around the lenses. I've seen those for sale in a German model shop, but are those the same ones, or hand made? They sure look good.

That looks pretty cool. I was looking at a knight hauler to change into a freightliner as my dad is a truck and he drives a freightliner and i didn't think it could be possible to change it but now i have just seen it at first hand. I should ring the store where my MAN is and see whether they could change it to a knight hauler as it's on layby.

Thank you Guys I will tell my Friend about you kind Words.

@ Nathan
You are right,these Lamp Housings and the Lenses are Parts from Fechtner Modellbau here in Germany.
He has someone who produces the Housings and the Lenses are Stock Wedico Parts.

I think the truck looks good, but the headlights are not right. Many of the older Coronados look like this one. There are even differences in the fenders.

The new Coronado replaced the Classic XL, if you go to Freightliners website, you will see the Classic look mixed with the Coronado. I think it is funny how close that Tamiya made the Knight look tot he Coronado, but made subtle differences so they wouldn't have to pay rights. With everyone here customizing parts and trucks, we can pretty much make them look like whatever we want anyway.

That is one sweet KH.
I am having IH builder make me a bumper like yours.
I thought I would be the first to have that...guess not.
Now I really want one on my KH, looooooook's really nice.
Your friend did an excellent job on everything, and I love the color.
