Thanks, I just want to help If you decide to go documenting your model.
Regarding the distance I don think is going to be the problem as everything can be done over email or by some other means of digital communication.

Wow, thats a real joystick right? :)

How long do you have left until a test run?

Re: Caterpillar D11R CD 1:14,5 by Gipicarto
 

I'm working hard, tests are in progress but to do things right I still need a little patience ...

Hi friends,

from dream to reality !

The collaboration with Oro2Model (www.oro2modell.it) turns my dream into reality,
with the work plans and components engineering the project starts to become really operational in all,
begins construction of the first parts of the limited number of bulldozer models dedicated to real fans.

I'm really glad

Gipicarto, congratulations! These models will be top notch for sure.

About that oil cooling, how do you make it look like that after brazing? I mean the matte look.

Re: Caterpillar D11R CD 1:14,5 by Gipicarto
 

hi Madda,

sandblast !!

Re: Caterpillar D11R CD 1:14,5 by Gipicarto
 

You're opening a shop, and you're going to offer your models to other hobbyists? That's quite an accomplishment! Congratulations! I'd like to see an english version of your site.

Re: Caterpillar D11R CD 1:14,5 by Gipicarto
 

Thanks for the link, I see they have hydraulic pumps and components.
The dozed looks great!
Cheers, Neil.

... the new "oil flow" for best cooling ...

Re: Caterpillar D11R CD 1:14,5 by Gipicarto
 

That's a pretty cool heat exchanger. At first I was a little confused about the oil flow and coil tubes in parallel, but after following the path, I think it will work just fine. I'm used to seeing single coil tubes, so this is a bit different, but should reduce some flow resistance. Nice work. What diameter will the tubing be?
