Volvo VNL780 & 23' Container Chassis - By Chester Fesmire


If you've ever wondered how to make the Tonkin Volvo VNL780 look more like a truck, this has to be your answer! Chester Fesmire reworked the Tonkin model with A-Line front wheels and Herpa drive wheels done in Alclad II. He put tinted film on the sleeper windows and all of the chrome, steps and the headlights are Bare Metal Foil with an India ink tint on the headlights and driving light area below. The entire cab and sleeper were stripped and polished and anodized with translucent red. The trailer is an Athearn container chassis. Outstanding work!
