Hello,
@ Matt
It looks up-and-coming.

A while ago Mini Metals offered a tanker tractor-trailer combination. A rather big trailer pulled by an middle weight class Ford tractor. In my opinion a little to few tractor for that heavy trailer. At first i corrected the spur of the trailer axles to meet standard width for this class of trucks. And also the trailer gets belling out fenders. A new landing gear too was mounted. At least a lot of milling was necessary to get this tanker trailer square.

Brekina offered the Peterbilt 281 in orange too. A first glimpse.

Then taking action with a brush and colours. It is a shame that Hanks Truck Pictures no longer exists, another victim of stupid photobucket politics.

At least this is the result. A further time period correct truck.
Note; the colours are inverted against prototype.
