Hi!
That looks as if they will only release the latest version tractor? I was hoping that this kit would include the modern 3-axle semi trailer? Does anyone know about that already?

Are there any major differences between the early, mid and late tractors?

The difference in all three cabs, the intermediate, late, and final, are very small. Especially in the late and final versions, where the changes are only in the covers of the fuel tanks. Kinda sad.

Like Andreas, I thought Trumpeter would use that opportunity to offer the three axle trailor.

Pity !

Looks like there is no trailor at all in this kit

Cheers,

Richard

Indeed, the last trailer would be very nice if they included it...

The final versions also don't have a winch.

And they have a ladder instead of the V-shaped step between the 2nd and 3rd wheel.
