DrJB Posted December 11, 2014 Posted December 11, 2014 I've noticed two trucks (maybe more) depicting decals/stickers with a rhinoceros. These are the 8285 Tow Truck and the 8041 Race Truck. Not sure where that comes from ... anyone knows? ... same artist? Quote
Zerobricks Posted December 11, 2014 Posted December 11, 2014 Guess some designer or graphical artist likes rhinos Quote
PhyBuilder Posted December 11, 2014 Posted December 11, 2014 Rhino‘s are tough and have a huge "get out of my way" level, that's why. Quote
Freekysch Posted December 11, 2014 Posted December 11, 2014 I do not know how the rhino on 8041 looks but the one on 8285 is just awesome ! Goes with the theme of the truck perfectly ! Quote
dr_spock Posted December 11, 2014 Posted December 11, 2014 Maybe the same reason Mammoet has an elephant logo on their trucks, giant cranes, SPMT and ships. Quote
Richard Dower Posted December 11, 2014 Posted December 11, 2014 I think its an American truck thing. 8285 is an American tow truck and these trucks tend to be customised by their owners and blinged out. I generally dont like stickers at all....in fact, i never apply stickers to any of the models i have....manly so as i can re-use parts if i decide to take models apart to build something else. Quote
Saberwing40k Posted December 11, 2014 Posted December 11, 2014 Maybe the same reason Mammoet has an elephant logo on their trucks, giant cranes, SPMT and ships. Maybe it's an homage to that, to evoke the look without violating trademark? Quote
andythenorth Posted December 11, 2014 Posted December 11, 2014 I am +1 that it's inspired by Mammoet. The colours and the style are near-identical. http://sariel.pl/2009/06/kenworth-mammoet/ Quote
