Looking good Christoffer. :cool:

Is the Bruder drum vaned inside, could you fill it with sand and then spin the load off?

Re: volvo FH12 concrete mixer
 

its got those thingys inside yes
so it can eject its cargo when turning the right way:)
but the concrete cant be very wet since the drum is not watertight yet:eek:

Re: volvo FH12 concrete mixer
 

Nice mixer surely saw many of these when I was in the UK late last year they love their cabovers but did see a few American Peterbilts and Kenworths but not many truck looks great.

Re: volvo FH12 concrete mixer
 

Tribal on the drum will look really cool!

Re: volvo FH12 concrete mixer
