Here is my latest. It's a Freightliner Classic XL. Sorry for the bad pictures, Black is hard to photograph. I'm using the rims from a snap Peterbilt. They look better than Italeri wheels. The guy I bought it from glued the hood on, and I had no luck getting it off the cab so it's another curbside kit. I extended the frame by about 2 inches, It's going to have a lift axle. I'm going to need your opinion, I have 2 sets of battery boxes, Some from the Italeri Freightliner Conventional and some resin ones. Which ones should I use? I kind of like the long ones but I'm not sure if Freightliner used long battery boxes. Not much more I can say about this. More pics to come.

I got it at Farm and Fleet. It cane in a 3 piece set, the excavator, a dump truck, and a front loader. It was marked 1/32 scale but the excavator is more like 1/25th. Here's the link for it.

I have this hood, but it's just the hood/grille. I don't have any of the other Freightliner accessories that go with it.

The other ones I got with an Italeri Freightliner Conventional
