Chester Fesmire built this great model from one of Sheepscot Models' new International R-180 resin kits and mounted it on the Sheepscot frame with an Alloy Forms front axle and differential and rear suspension cut & spliced from the parts box, Herpa six spoke wheels, mirrors, and exhaust. The foil for the 'stainless' steps are from a delaminated credit card. The trailer is a Wiking tanker with Lonestar wheels and tires and a matching paint job. Chester notes he calls this model "Midnight Oil." A detail shot of the truck tractor was shown in Photo Gallery 143.
