These trucks look GREAT! The detail looks pretty good! IMO the only thing that throws these awesome models off is the trailer wheels. Other than that, they look well worth the money. A couple years back that's how these companies had their trailers set up, with white steel rims. They were cheaper! So the model had to look the same that's my guess and that's why the models have white rims too. Now with the high prices of fuel these companies went from white steel rims to aluminum wheels since they're lighter than steel rims. They do cost more though but overtime they'll make it up, at least that's the way they see it. I agree with you, those three trucks would've looked better with chrome wheels instead of the white ones but it is what it is and I don't regret buying them. |

Ah, well the details on the exterior are pretty good, but what about the interior? |

Ah, well the details on the exterior are pretty good, but what about the interior? If it is a DCP and a Series I, it does have a detailed cab and sleeper. Series II and III don't have detailed interiors. It does have the seat and dash but that's it. |

And here's a very hard to find internal release. This is the only one I've seen besides a picture of it on dcp.wz.cz for reference. It's a Columbia for ProNorth Transportation   |

wow dat that Pro North Columbia is really nice Yes it is!!! Since they're based in Canada I have not seen one of their rigs. I had to go by what I saw on their website. This was the only model that I have ever seen and was told it's a real hard to find internal truck. I did spend quite a bit on it but I think it was worth it. |
