PACCAR is just as protective & greedy of thier namesake too.

IMHO thats a very poor view of the manufacturers to take after all it is free exposure , its not as if these models are good enough detail to give away trade secrets ! ! , if each model sold ment a small royalty payment to the manufacturer it would be something for nothing for them.
