As promised the first pic shows the kit wheels to the right and the alloys on the left. The new oil filled shocks are next and are now retro fitted to the chassis as are the new alloys shown in the last pics. Thanks for looking. Al Spal attached the following image(s):

The aluminium wheels look more authentic than bright chrome which you just don't see on European truck wheels and the hydraulic shocks will make the chassis less bouncy

That looks like it has just as many parts as the real thing - and what parts they are. Beautiful detail and turning into a fantastic model. Happy Modelling
