Christian Craig built this rig using a Dennis Aust T800 Kenworth cab and hood kit which is sporting a model of a Caterpillar C-12 diesel under the hood. It is kitbashed from a number of other kits and parts from various companies. The sleeper is from an unknown diecast Kenworth T600. The frame is custom, scratchbuilt then resin cast for quick use in other projects. The rear suspension, wheel/tire sets, turn signals and air horns are Herpa. The mirrors are Plano and decals by Microscale from the May Trucking decal sheet. The color used was "French Blue." The chrome is predominately "Bare Metal Foil". The trailer is a partially finished resin cast pneumatic dry bulk trailer which still requires a coat of aluminum paint, detail painting, and some pneumatic air hoses. The picture showing the rear of the truck shows a Dennis Aust T800W approaching in the oncoming lane. These pictures were taken on Christian's Northwest Indiana layout near a cement storage facility. Christian also wanted to mention that a lot of his parts come from his father, Bob Craig who is also featured on our web site and has been doing this a lot longer than Christian has. Christian says, "Thanks, Dad!"
