Well 5 weeks ago I inherited a 56318 Scania R470 4x2 metallic edition in a trade for a Quadcopter
So I decided to go the whole hog and build a B-Double for it
so from this lot

More to come as I get time I currently have a brand new Scania R620 kit with MFC and a new 2.4 ghz radio sitting on the bench to be assembled this weekend (Mr's is out of town so lots of peace )
And I just got a 2 axle dolly and assembled a flatdeck trailer to make it a sort of 4 axle full trailer
And I have ordered some gear to convert the R470 into a lwb 6x4 flat deck truck to pull the full trailer
I have been into R/C and Tamiya models since I was 5or 6 (now 46)
But this is my first ever semi trailer build so still plenty to learn
I am also an ex Driver having driven for BP and Mainfreight whilst living in NZ operating Tankers, Sideloaders (container swinglift ) along with curtainside B-Doubles and truck and trailer 8x4 with 4 axle trailer for over 20 years
Now off the road due to disability from falling from truck I stuffed my right shoulder and elbow 2 surgeries and many more to come
So I decided to go the whole hog and build a B-Double for it
