8041 Race Truck modded

[Seluryar]

yesterday, i found out i had most of the parts required to build 8041 - Race truck, although i did not have the elements with the right colors.

so i set forth to build this truck, but with the determination that it would not be the original truck by the instructions.

the first goal was to make it into a box truck of some sort, but i then knew i wouldnt have enough pcs to build the cargo area.

then i decided it would be a flatbed, but with an extended rear with an additional axle.

areas i wish to improve:

flatbed deck, would like to make it a single color along with raised edges

interior of the cab and the rear side of the cab.

That is looking really good, I like your ideas of areas to improve.

more work done on it, added a PF battery box in case i want to motorize the engine at a later time, and i got rid of the colorful flatbed and added sides to it

then i made some cargo for it, which does nothing to the main model but gives it something to put on the back of it

Nice

I would Bring out the front grill out a bit so it is flush with the rest of the cab.

With the front grill you can do this:

This is like a MAN front grill

This is like a Scania front grill

This is like a Volvo front grill
