Something really different: Volvo F16 520

This was my first aibrush paintjob. Now i used photo editing programs zoom.

Heres introducing text:
The more stringent future requirements off efficiency, productivity ans profitability have determined the design of the new Volvo FH16. As transport becomes more fully integrated into the production process, haulage contractors must use their vehicles more effectively in order to maintain profitability. The new HF range is characterized by a driver's cab that has been aerodynamically designed and tested in the wind tunnel, low weight and newly developed engines, that have been improved to give optimum fuel consumption and emission. The most powerful version has the turbocharged 16 litre engine with electrically controlled fuel injection. It develops 520 hp at 1800 rpm and has already proved its wear performance and reliacility over many years in the F-16 range. The new FH driver's cab esures maximum flexibilitx, in parallel with comfort and economy. To reduce the fuel comsumption it can be equipped with a series of spoilers.

That's great to see trucks here! And even more when they're nicely built!
Thanks and... well done! I hope it won't be the last!

Looks great from what I can see, did those decals come in the kit? pretty cool looking, your pic's are a tad "foggy" though. Nice work dude

SWEET, I always wanted to do truck. They are just so expensive so I want to pick a good one when I do, do one.

Very well done!!
I never thought anyone would like to see trucks here
I have a older Volvo F12 in the making, too
Itīs going to become a Australian Version and a really dirty one.
