Could you please tell me your opinion about this Version?

[Milan]

Only the roof is different, right?
Now, it looks like R series sleeper.

[efferman]

@Milan

Yes, only the roof and some minor improvements in stability of the front. To make it to a sleeper i have to increase the length behind the doors. This point is still the daycab from the Dino

Oh, my bad, I thought it is a bit longer, and that you are aiming at the sleeper version, like this, marked one:

If it is a Day cab, then your first cabine with low roof (before the one posted on this page) is closer to the daycab.

[efferman]

@Milan the daycab was for the suction excavator. The marked cab is for something different and will be 1 or two studs longer.

I like the black front grille and white bumper and fenders.

But this high roof for a day cab does not exist, so I prefer the original one, unless you make the cab longer as Milan stated.

How firmly are you set on the old Scania cab? If you like Scania trucks, there is a new generation out there so why don't you try building that one? To kind update your truck, keep it modern and good looking (although there is a very small difference between the two, only the lines are updated and modernized). Maybe something like this:

Just a thought.

[efferman]

The old series looks better and sorry, the low entry version is shocking me every time when i see it. Ugly as Hell

[efferman]

second prototype for the hooklift The ouitrigger parts should work as replacement  for the printed parts, Even when the neccessary romm will increase

 

[efferman]

only a small lowboy under stress. the frame is two studs high and 4 panels long

[efferman]

The streamline is mostly done. any opinions?

Honestly I do not know what to complain about, it look really nice. Pitty that my mocs are 1:15 or 1:18 scale so I can not borrow your design  just can be used as inspiration

[Edwin Korstanje]

Here for me is also nothing to complain and is a superB cabin.

[pagicence]

Question: those 1x2 and 2x2 curved panels that you have on the side above the door and on the back of the cabin, have you tried using them on the front above the sun shield instead of 1x1 and 1x2 flat slopes?

is the steering wheel at the wrong spot???  just kidding!!  looks great!!!  There is an american company called peterbilt http://www.peterbilt.com/ and Idk if you have done any models based from this company.. they got some cool trucks!! 

[efferman]

@pagicence, the upper row of cheesecakes has a half stud offset to the lower one. with the curved slopes i would have two holes in the front roof.

@sirslayer, i love the 359

He think now the steering wheel is on the correct side.
