Default Split

From what I can see it uses most of the CMP, only much narrower. Be interesting to see what they did with the axles.



Looks like an auto transmission, not a lot of room for the legs either!

The rear pic shows what looks like a narrowed F15A frame. It's bizarre, isn't it?

Default Perhaps

Perhaps there's a bit of an optical illusion here because it has a wider engine and the grille has been fabricated. The windscreen isn't right.

What do you think?

The nose is definitely cab 13. Where was this pic taken? Can't be Oz, you're still in the middle of Summer!

It was taken by a guy named Erik in Austrla who contacted me after seeing my website.

Not sure where the vehicle is - he said it was about 500km from his place.
