Volvo FH-16

Italeri kit No. 733 from 1994. Rims and tires are taken from Italeri kit No. 3909.

I build this kit as a teenager some decades ago. Not knowing anything about airbrushing or modelling itself and without Internet, it did not end up well. Earlier this year I found this kit "new" for a reasonable price online. When it arrived, it was in a horrible condition. While indeed unused and complete, most of the parts were covered in an oily substance. The tires I could only throw away. The seller was very sorry and gave me a discount. For that I purchased the rim and tires set. I took some effort to get that oily substance removed from the plastic parts...

I am glad that I got this kit completed 30 years after its production date.
