That looks cool . I would like to see someone could make that in resin for 1/24 scale Italeri Euro cab trucks .

They are. As for resin, I don't think anyone would waste their time on producing a kit in 1/24, let alone 1/35, although Italeri does have several good candidates. Even Heller does a nice Mercedes cabover that would fit the bill. Unfortunately not much suitable in 1/32 is out there, unless you want to do a die cast/plastic hybrid.

Very interesting!
That would be simple to scratch-build out of plastic sheet, as it is essentially a series of relatively flat panels.
In fact, I have a 1/76-scale die-cast Mercedes truck, which may get that treatment at some point.

That's exactly why I posted. It would be nice to see you tackle it. I don't have the time much these days, but it's an interesting subject nonetheless.
