Volvo FH 3rd Generation v1.0 1.39 ETS2

I am a die-hard fan of the 3rd gen Volvo FH. It represents the transition from old-school Volvos to a completely redesigned new generation of trucks since 2012. It has the general design language of the 1st gen FH while having modern design touches here and there and featuring relatively new technologies (like new headlamps and engines that can deliver up to 750 hp, with EEV emission standards).
Though the tuning pack DLC has added extra appeal to the model, the vanilla FH is still the one that was modelled back in the early 2010s, which is woefully lacking in terms of model quality, when compared to the new Actros and Scania NG in-game, for example.

There are mods available on this site that make great improvements to the details of the truck, but unfortunately, none actually includes a complete remodelling of the cabin. There are also mods elsewhere that add on a standalone FH to the game, but they are generally not very well made for gameplay purpose, and the polygon count of the models is too high (well over a million) for a video game.

So, I decided to build a new 3d model of the truck from scratch myself. For this, I have taken lots of references from documents and pictures online, models of the vanilla FH and models from mods available online.
