Italian Red looks good on damn near anything. Fine looking rig.

And as for aerodynamics, a quote re the F-4 Phantom "a triumph of thrust over aerodynamics."

That's a great looking truck Paul. Nice building too.
How long is it?

Al, it's 26 inches. Here's a 1/25 Nascar for comparison.

Truck looks great. I agree that anything looks great in Ferrari Red!

Actually aerodynamics of cab-overs is not too bad. Care must be taken on the shape of the front corners, but if done properly, they can equal conventional tractors. Essentially you move the air once, versus moving it a number of time with a conventional. The main thing is to get the air off of the front of the trailer, and smoothly transition it to the sides and top of the trailer. Chassis side fairings are good, and this is where this truck falls short.

Details, details!!!

Hi Mr 2whl,

You have done a brilliant job with this, she really is a stunner (even with the Fiatari decals Ferrari Hauler Dealer)...
