Info:

Hello all, this heavy tractor and its trailer is loosely based on the Rheinmetall HX series of military service vehicles. It is part of my HX series of cab-over heavy vehicles along with the crane platform "Jupiter", box truck "Aquila" and "Orion" flatbed. The Cygnus is intended to pull heavy loads on its trailer over long distances. The trailer itself is equiped with multiple tie down points and winches to secure its cargo as well as a light duty crane.
