Thank you gents. With these comments it seems I have appealed to your taste. Thanks for the support everyone.

I finally got the tires into the container. 163 tires to be exact. Thanks to all my fellow modelers from around the world who donated most of the tires.


I also added the twist locks to the underside at all four corners of the container to hold them in place. I made some few changes of the placement of the wheels and did some minor painting and slight weathering. I also moved the tractor slightly forward away from the trailer to show more of the fifth wheel.


So I hope you all approve of the final look as I am calling this done.

Very nice Charles, the fifth wheel looks as realistic as you can get, don't think I have seen better. The whole thing is superbly weathered. Hope you are posting this on the truck forums, you would make a lot of 1/24 truckers very happy seeing it.
