[Selander]

I updated my "old" shell tanker truck.

See pictures below.

Any comment are welcome.

Your truck designs are lovely, and this is no exception - your Shell truck is actually so much of a favourite of mine that I've considered copying your design...

I wish you had included a couple of pictures of the old one as well, so we could see what kind of updates you've made :)

I do like that.

In the UK the majority of fuel tankers tractors are by MAN, since they took over British truckmakers ERF who were the previous favourite, since the rules governing fuel transporters here dictates specialised modifications- for example, a front mounted transverse underslung exhaust. There are quite a few Scanias about. I have seen Merc tankers in continental Europe, as well as a pair of them in Calais used for refuelling ferries.

Nice update to the original Sealander!

Once again, a very impressive truck design Selander! The overall smooth build looks really good, and the color scheme really fits the Shell brand perfectly. Great job as always!

Very nice.

The colors are stunning 'Selander'. It really pops out of the photos.

The details are great. The original Shell bricks are used very well.
