I both like the Volvo NH and the Scania T4. As you've mentioned I already
built a T144G Scania tipper truck. It was quite easy to build, because I
already designed a R144 Scania. Just replaced the cab and add a hood. It's
quite simple!
The same concerns the NH. The cab is taken from the FH. I have a FH at the
moment (8x4/4 conf.) so just have to add a hood (like the T4).

The Actros is a very nice truck. Especially with a heavy load. Have some
plans to build a 3353 S of Mammoet Van Seumeren:

But I have so many ideas, I can't fulfill them all. Because it's a long time
ago I build a DAF, I'm now building a 95XF 8x4 with ballasttrailer.

Those Scammels are massive. E.g. the Super Contractor, wow. Old but huge!
Bought an English photobook a few weeks ago (Heavy loads by David Lee). 95%
of the vehicles in this book are British. I like them very much. Those
vehicles put more heavy loads onto their trailer than on the continent.

I totally agree.

Well, we'll work on it! Just have some patience!
