A VOLVO and a couple of KINGS

Hi René, you do have a good eye for proportions. That rear fender looks spot on.

Not being familiar with these models, I noticed that the rear steering axle (?) seems to be a lift axle too. Any chance of a picture from underneath? (If it is not too much trouble)

thank you Stephan, I guess i've just been looking at to many real trucks

Here is a couple pics of how i made the tag axle. The springs come from a Tamiya reefer trailer and the front axle is just a standard Tamiya. I've been thinking bout putting a rigid axle on it.

Hi René, thanks for the pictures, really appreciate that! Always nice to see what's under the hood.

I am surprised there is enough room under the front fenders for those fat tires to allow actual steering

your welcome it would be nice if everybody made their buildtreads as detailed as you do
there isn't that much room,had to raise the cab about 2 mm for it to turn, it was ok when it had the mercedes wheels on the front axle, but the carson wheels grabbed the fender

Hi René, in a way good not everybody makes detailed build threads ... would spend way too much time reading them and never get around to doing anything else

Looking forward to your next update!
