You have a great Peterbilt 281 with a great trailer. Unfortunately I have problems with free time, but I will definitely finish my version.

I am very glad that my works inspire someone. I was indeed inspired by the Peterbilt 351/281, but since the contest rules prohibit using real cars, I would prefer to simply call it a yellow truck 😉. I hope to finish it before the end of August, I have very little free time now.

A very interesting project. The start looks promising.

I'm almost done with the chassis for the yellow truck. The engine took its place. I also made the steering, with a working steering wheel in the cockpit.

Did some work on the yellow truck. I really like the progress, but I'm having trouble with the engine placement. Very limited space under the hood. I think I'll come back to this later while I work on the lime truck.

The rear axle is very interesting. Are you planning to use a differential?

I'm having a bit of a creative crisis. And to take my mind off things a little, I decided to work on the second model. While still working on the alternative model 42108, I had one idea that I could not implement due to limited parts. I think now is the best time. The main goal is to make an American truck from the 50s. I really like the way their hood opens. And this is approximately what I want to get in the end. Well, a little update on the lime truck. I still have a lot of time and I’m thinking of working on both projects at the same time.

I have an assistant, now the work should go faster. I also received the parts and started making the cabin. I’m not entirely happy with the result yet, there’s a lot of work ahead.

A very interesting project. I always thought that the scale of model 42078 was approximately 1/20-1/21, the same as 42128.

I'm starting to think that my project looks very simple in terms of functionality. Can I change the purpose of the truck while working? For example, instead of a dump truck, I want to make a car crane or a tow truck.

Both projects look cool. I love trucks in this scale. I hope you have the strength to finish both models on time.

Perhaps my question was not noticed. I'm still interested in hearing the answer.

If I understand correctly, your drive uses four motors. Rules allows the use of a maximum of four motors. You must have another motor to control it.

A little update before the holidays. I'm very pleased with the progress being made.

I wanted to clarify whether the wheels on the lift axle can be considered decorative (as in set 42128).
