I hear he does some Transatlantic work too  I think the upperstructure looks to be overly long,but then you rarely see the real deal from certain angles you do with a model,I know Kyosho who make nice 1/18 cars actually make them wider than scale,as they would appear longer and thinner,less appealing, The cab on the volvo is the one thing i'm not crazy about,just doesn't look good,contrasting angles and lines,but its a machine not a super car

And don't forget Graham, those Hitachi 1000s the track frames come off for an even more interesting haul!!!!! I like the looks of them, nice package- arooney day friend!!! Don't forget if you start running out of room you could always ship one of those 11200s over the pond to work here!!!! After all one 11200 in my hand is worth 2 ZX1000s in your bushes!!!!  
Dain I'm a kid at heart, so I will play with any model construction vehicle from 1:87 scale to 1:1 scale!!!! Age is a state of time NOT a state of mind!!

Because Volvo had 2010 regs engines in the early-mid '00s they haven't had to struggle with EPA regs, and so, the upper structure is lower than say, a 345D or ZX540

This was the second model I ever bought, got it in Stockholm in late 90's along with an Akerman EC650, the first! Still have both and same as yours they show signs of "operation". Only ever seen one of them in Ireland but it was the later version, the EL70C but didnt get any pictures
