Hello.

Here is my next model. It's an old Czech diesel air compressor. Model is from Small Models and it is possible to build two versions.




The civilian version.



The military version.



I chose a civilian version. The compressor will be open, so I cut the upper part.





All inner walls I sanded to be as thin as a sheet.

Before





After





From the aluminum sheet I made a new upper part.







And holders.



I changed the lights. They have a smaller diameter and I used etchings Hauler. I used the original etchings from the kit and I stuck the upper part and holders.













I continue to work on the chassis. The chassis was simple. I have added a mechanism handbrake, cables and a few other details.











I used a chain of etchings. I modified chain and glued into place.









I added fenders and reflective light.

Chassis in surfacer.







I added a few elements and repaired surface.









The engine is very nicely executed. I made only minor changes.











I added the wheels, filters, and I started painting.









The rest of the parts after painting ...











Here are the last photo before the patina ...

















Here are the latest photos. I finished the air valves and electrical connections. Patina is 95% completed.

Photos are not good. Weather is no longer ideal.













And here is the finished model.
