Ronaldom doing the "Duel" Peterbilt ... that's a perfect combination of designer and subject!

Ronaldom, are you planning to do the trailer, too?

Excellent! The trailer is a classic tanker style, still very common when I was a kid. The shape has a lot of curves, but I think none of them are "compound curves".

It will be fun to watch this project take shape!

If we are going to be asking for trucks from movies, Convoy's Rubber Duck, and Snowman's rig from Smokey and the Bandit

We know from his models that Ronaldom has a special appreciation for the romance and rugged beauty of classic trucks. If a modeler with this appreciation, and with Ronaldom's design and graphics skills, wants to do movie trucks ... I hope that he would focus those talents on the all-time greatest ones.

Certainly the "Duel" Peterbilt tanker rig is one of those.

Beyond "Duel" ... what subject could be more fitting than the vehicles from the greatest truck film of all time - "Le Salaire de la Peur" ("Wages of Fear") of 1953, and it's 1977 remake "Sorceror" - a rare case of a remake matching the quality of the original.

Doing the pair of trucks from either version - complete with nitroglycerin loads, of course - that would be a project worthy of a designer like Ronaldom.

If you love trucks, and haven't seen this film - I highly recommend it, both versions are excellent.

Now THAT would be great to see. Asd I said, I used to LOVE trucks, and those movie trucks would be great to see.

Thank's Art, "The Wages Of Fear" is a nice idea, the other I didn't saw. I put it on my desk drawer.
Fast and aerodinamic cars are beautiful and good to drive it, but the "rugged" and strong appearance of those old trucks tell us about another time, deserver of a model for collection
