The fifth wheel looks a bit oversized for the wheel diameter, but I could be wrong.

Here are some of my favorite tractor units: Arocs 3363 6x4, DAF XF 510, Volvo FH 16, and any Scania S series. 

You could try something like this:

A small question: Wich Gear ratio you would recommend for a semi tractor unit?
In this moment there is a 4,2:1 reduction which would give the M.A.N TGS a good speed without trailer. But with a trailer the pullng power will be probably insufficient, so i think about a switching gearbox

The Gearbox on the picture -excluding the 8/24 combination- has in the slow gear a reduction of 14:1 and in the fast gear 4,2:1
Do you think the slow gear is to slow?

I really like rear mudguards on your trucks, they fit perfrctly to 62.4 tires :thumbup:

It looks very smooth :thumbup:. One thing that is usually happened - when you want things to look and feel simple you need to work very hard and take care of lot of details, and things that look complicated are actually non-finished sloppy things :wink:
