Looks Awesome! Charles, well done on the weathering. As an ex- hgv fitter I think a few dents on the cab & repair patches on rear wings would not go amiss....

Great work Charles I usually only build military vehicles {ok, always} but am doing a civilian bulldozer and a car in 1/25 scale {something different} Your work on civie trucks and such gives me inspiration to do a good job of it. Again, Great work!.................Jim

I have been working on the trailer for the Scania 142H long based chassi for some time now. So far this is where I am. I have finally added the side wind deflectors, which I painted black. I also toned down some of the weathering on the passenger side. Still have a little toning down near the windshield as well.
The trailer was scratch built and it is 90% complete. I have to add more details and a bit more subtle weathering around the trailer. I tried to make it look somewhat out dated by design but yet have a kinda modern feel to the rest of the overall look. I decided on the mix color combo; has the trailer, had been painted unprofessinally several times during its hard course life. Secondly, I wanted it to be different and stand out.
I am making the precast concrete slabs that will eventually be placed on the trailer when done..I am experimenting with various materials. The ones you see in the pics are made from posterboards. We will see what I end up using. The trailer has rest mounts for four precast slabs, which in turn can double up on each mount depending on thickness of the precast slab.
So I hope you like the trailer and the overall look of this tractor/trailer combo so far.
