This kit was recently reviewed in Truck Model World, it is a great kit but unfortunately italeri are up to their old tricks again, simply putting together old kits into one big box. The truck is using mainly old tooling, the trailer is simply their old 40' container trailer minus 4 peices (the container walls, roof and floor were all in two peices).
If they'd chosen to model it off a newer vehicle and trailer with more accurate details (air bag suspension instead of the laf spring they're still using) then it would definately have been a great kit.
