Sublime 389

Inspired by the real Sublime owned by Jade Transport of Winnepeg, my version of Sublime started as an Italeri 378, with sleeper from the 377 and a resin roof.  The 389 hood is resin from www.stsmodeltrucks.com and the fenders are from GW Trucks.  The colors are black and Tamiya metalic lime green.
