I'm following this build closely and I'm impressed of your work with this model (and all others you have built for that matter) and the attention to detail you have on your builds.
I grew up with these trucks and as I might have mentioned before the cabs for most of the Volvo trucks are made here in Umea where I live as Volvo bought the Nystrom cab factory in the 60's.
I noticed that the rear suspension you have built isn't exactly right as I haven't seen that type of axle lift on any Volvo truck.
The most used axle lift system for a spring bogie is this.

I'm following your builds closely and you do very good work.
