After having built a few Scania R470/620s, I've decided to make a P340/380. The main difference between the R and P series in the cabin height, the R-cab, (being the premium body) is taller and offers more comfort and space.

I've modified an existing R-cab to a P-cab, and converted it to a low-roof. Main visual difference is at the upper front grill. The R-cab has 3 rows of horizontal ventilation, while the P-cab has only 2 rows.

Showing the 2 trucks side-by-side:

That's some great custom work, especially the side intakes. Nice job!

Thanks! The side intakes were cut into 5 pieces each, with 2 pieces discarded. Lots of work to trim them to fit! My group showcased 2 units of P-cab earlier today, will share pictures when they are ready.

Thanks! Yeah the size/shape takes a little getting used to. Feel free to share your P-model truck too!

Well, that is much better than stock B) . Incredible work - does it have that SLU ?

Toys they're not.

Thanks backtomyroots. Yes, it has the SLU installed. The demo video I've done was using the same chassis. :)

We just had a meet up yesterday in Singapore. You can check out some pictures below:

The embedded flash worked for me in post #8. Great photos, and I'm jealous of your places to drive the trucks!
Guess I need to visit Singapore someday.

Cheers,
