Das Wettringer Modellbauforum

OK,i thought it was about time i started to show some of my built models!

I bought this for £3 GBP off ebay UK in july '04.it was pretty rough,thick glue and brush painted,including the writing on the cab and lots of dust/particles under the paint


I stripped the paint off and cut off the spoiler on the roof,filled the hole and added strip & sheet for the mouldings & vent


The cab was a mess and took a lot of filling/sanding to make it good


I cleaned up the chassis then scratch built the exhaust supports,rear light channel/mud flap bracket & mudflaps,cut down a Daf fuel tank for the hydraulic tank,converted the dash & steering box to rhd & added a tool locker & exhaust trunking from the Italeri accessories kits





I moved the battery box on top of the chassis,added a susie bracket from the Italeri accessories kit,sprayed the chassis satin black & roof white with auto paints,hand painted the cab with humbrol enamel,added Kangaroo Decals Pioneer decals and number plates & wheels from the Italeri conversion kit







I was very pleased with the end result.

I hope you like it,
Liam.
