Cool --Mercedes Actros 1857-- completed(big pics)

Hi! This is my first time to build a Italeri truck model,and I feel it`s a really exciting experience.The kit molded well,especially compared with some sports cars made by Italeri IMO .
I sprayed Gunze #8 silver as a base,then Gunze clear green,hope you like the color


Any comments are welcomed

That's a damn good finish. Doesn't look like a small scale model.

Could use a lowering job and some nice 30something inch chrome rims to go with that funky color

No seriously, Great build and a nice subject!

Wow!! I never dreamed to see a German truck in here. Veeery nice!
Extremely clean build, nice colour and shiny paint!
The engine would need a light washing to look less clean and more oily, if you ask me. Tamiya "Smoke" is great for that

Wow, looks real! The only thing I don't like is the covers of the rear wheels. They look a bit unreal. Maybe they would look better if you added a blackwash to them.
