Nice! I like how you got creative and flipped the airfoil so it sits vertically, rather then horizontally. The Aeromax has always been one of my favorite stock built Tamiya trucks. It looks great as a daycab too, and those wheels are awesome. Looks more like a fleet truck that way, rather then a fancy owner operator truck!

I like the truck it has a nice work truck look. There is one part that doesn't seem to belong, the wind deflector on the top it just doesn't look right to me.:confused: But hay that is my opinion, as long as your happy that is all that matters.:cool:

I like the look....The deflector reminds me of the old school mack we have around here in jersey with the deflectors...They go straight up just like that one

[1985 kenworth]

keep the names coming they are very interesting

[Supermario]

I like the look Dwayne. :cool:

If you change the color it may open your name options?

You always like to go with a Greek mythology type name..... How bout something like Minotaur ? Or how bout. Atlas ?

[plow jockey]

Like the steel wheels!! Makes it look like a work horse!! I really like these aeromax builds especialy the day cabs. Great job Dwayne!!!!

[doodlebug]

Pick your favorite Playmate, I did! My 1:1 Mack is named "Kona"

Cheer's, Neil.

[DieselKid]

This is cool!!! I love the 'fleet truck' look...all of our local trucks at work have the high air foil and fairings at the rear of the cab. And your creativity with turning the air foil up on end adds such a unique look to it, just like the 1:1 pic you shared!

I was thinking I had seen this as your avatar over on Scale 4x4 at one point and was hoping you would post a thread with bigger pics, thanks for sharing!:D

Keep up the good work!

[hippy]

dude killer truck! reminds me of a banana!

[1985 kenworth]

thanks everyone for the compliments i myself didn't know how much better this truck looks just from changing the wheels and yes dieselkid i did have this as my avatar on scale 4x4 with my flatdeck b-trains:)

[Supermario]

Good one Adam, I never thought of Helios, and the yellow truck with the vertical shield looks like a sunrise:D

Mario



Helios......the Greek Sun God. :-) will be perfect along with Zeus and Poseidon the Greek Gods!

I used to tow for a company that had a account with Penske to tow there trucks.
that is spot on to what I towed...

it was a pain to drop the top roof fairing



very nice

This a very nice daycab, like the color and wheels, a true work truck.
