Cool truck verry classic style

i still love the shell colors on a lego truck better then Octan
maybe it is nostalgia maybe it is just better.

Nice - love the Shell colors and the chrome is a nice touch.  I think the tractor/cab is a bit long for classic 4-wide style in comparison to the tank trailer, but just personal opinion on that; looks great overall and all these "classics" have been fun to see!

Thank you very much.

I totally agree about the Octan sets of the 90s, not even close to the earlier Shell ones. Probably the not so nice colour combinations, but I believe Lego did it also for a change to more "environmental friendly" reasons of those days..

Thanks so much for your kind comments.

Yeah, there's a difference between European and US commercial vehicles transportation sizes.

Such one is that in Europe you will mainly see 2-axle tractors with 3-axle semitrailers and the opposite on the US roads. My approach was to kind of merge both with a sence of Classic Town Legoland.. ?
