That's not to say it wouldn't fun to model, because it's unique and cool, but spread axles are just more common, and they look sweet too.
I agree about the fenders I cut them too short... Good thing I bought 10ft of the pvc pipe I use to make them I am going to re do them but I need to get more styrene now.
I think the frame and fenders will be painted to match the truck but the side rails will be polished. I got half of one side polished but wasn't happy with it. Too many scratch marks left in it..... May be sending those out to get polished nicely.

Tracey I agree with the tri axle but this one will be the spread, and down the road I'll to a tri As well, after I get my dump trailer! I really want one of those. Even thought about converting this one to a dump trailer..
