Well, when ever i've tried to do a kit before, i've failed.... EPICLY! So what did i do? Buy another  1:24th Volvo FH! This one! Italeri kit  I didnt think i did too bad! Few mistakes i know about, it don't help some of the bits don't physically FIT, but i don't think many will spot and having done my first of these Italeri trucks i know a few things to watch out for next time as instructions are a big vague at times! I might pull a few bits off and re-do or make a few more tweeks but I think i might even go get another one today! Maybe try a trailer first for this one. Be cool if i could get a car transporter give my 1:24 muscle somewhere to live! Here it is! don't be too harsh ;D      |

No need to go overboard on the realism..... or it could end up like this.  Driver was OK, apparently.... |

The model looks pretty good! Sadly not enough Volvo cars at 1:24 - the only mainstream plastic kits are 3 850s (2 of which are BTCC), and a 760 saloon, all of which are no longer available new. There's also a 1:25 P1800 (& possibly also soon an Amazon too), but it's a very expensive specialist resin transkit

It was a class 2 lorry (i.e a box lorry) that occasionally pulled another trailer behind, except he forgot that on that day he was pulling the trailer too!
Ive forgotten to mention how much I like your model FH. It looks the bizz! Did it take long to build?

But still, it must have been too close even if he was solo
well the truck, all in about 2 weeks, BUT it actually took 3 weeks because i spent the first week sulking that i had do drill my own holes lol. But then i got over it it, got i back out and did it!
