Just a tip for you and a comment on the exhausts:

I do not think the exhausts look right where they are, they would be better where they should be just below the side skirts.

The rear panel that fits to the roof is the wrong way round. We have all done this, fitting the correct way round does make it fit better. Just to show everyone that even the professional modeller for Italeri get's it wrong!!

Correct way round:



Italeri's latest model.....

The back panel was for a future reference and as you say it won't be noticed.

The exhausts at the side I have never seen on the real truck, the coke truck. You also have a set of stacks going up the back????? Stacks up the back is what is on the real truck, not the side pipes.

The custom exhausts could be removed and chrome tape/foil used to hide the holes where they were fitted if you chose to do this.

I am just offering my advice and how I see it, but carry on as it is your model and you build it how you want and if you are happy with it then that is all that counts.

here is a pic i seen the side exhausts on i have also seen a vid of same truck with rear stacks on so i am guessing the side pipes are fake and just for show and the rear stack are the real exhausts

thanks for your advice and trying to help
