Also needs a bit more yellow :P

Thats the font in the shot, but it looks a bit weird. maybe its the angle.

Do you mean Yellow extending around the cab sides?

Looks like you've stretched the font also :-?

Try something like this? http://fictitiousliveries.fotopic.net/p17690283.html

The logo looks slightly warped and seems a bit too big to my eye. Might just be me though - I'm not overly familiar with the livery. Other than thal, looking good.

Apart from the number on the front, and the warning flashes, that looks spot on :)

i think the only thing that *may* have made it look like the logo was warped is that the logo was on the lower body side and applied onto the curve on the lower body.


looking very good bud.

Hi there,

I think you should adjust the spacing of the 2 zeros in the number & also correct the font for the number on the front (and back?).

Cheers,

Alan.
