So I did an inbox review on this kit which can be seen here.
So now it's time to build it. 
I'll be splitting time between this and the Caddy.
Started messing around with the Trailer wheels and suspension. Cut off the sprues, still need to be trimmed.
Next up is the Cab frame and suspension. These are actually the first steps in the instructions.
4 Differentials are required.
 
I should mention, the detail on this kit is amazing and so far the fit is very nice. Notice the mold quality on the Diffs.
Sussy dryfitted on the frame.
A good start, I think.

An excellent start I think  The quality of mouldings and fit look 100% better than the Modelcollect missile truck I have  |

Thanks, Lads. And about the "S" on my knife. Boots got it right . It stands for sharp. I have three knives on my bench most of the time and I got tired of trying to figure out which was the sharp one. |

Let the Hoppy Foot Dance commence!
Wonderful level of detail, impressive to say the least.
Can you put a ruler in one of your next updates so we can get an idea of size?

As per Mence's request. Fractional.
Metric.
Differential. You can also see some fuel tanks and stuff in the background.
And some Trailer Trucks. 20 pieces turn into 10 trucks.
Cleaning up the parts continues.
