Miloslav,
Excellent work. Is this the MR Models conversion? You really did it justice. Very complete build & great finish/weathering.

I'm jealous....

WOW !!! great job.

I see that you added a lot of extras. Were they in the kit or was it all scratch work by you ??

Very nice job looks almost like the real thing. On epoint though the fifth wheel wouldnt really have any paint on it itd be worn from towing trailers and covered in grease

waht a beautif tuck tractor. Alls little things are here. I like it.

Just two things, this truck tractoor is a M931 A1 (without winch and Big foot tyres)
I think that the 5th wheel does ,ot be very so clean. There is on this parts a big level from black grease to allow the sattle mouvement :

Miloslav,
This is definitely a great looking tractor, love all the detail work and supply lines, as with the paint and weathering effects... great job! I’m going to have to look into getting some of those wheel, they look super on the truck.

Awesome build! I wish I could do something like that. One thing though the top plate on the 5th wheel would be greasy black and some bare metal or you could have some rust showing. I drive a truck so I see this all the time. Again awesome and thanks for sharing the pics
