Re: ScaleART - Assembling a MAN TGX/XL 6x6 tractor & Trailer

The difficulty with the left door turned out to be my own fault for over tightening the screws on that side ... :o

Assembling this cab needs a totally different approach than the AROCS one. Have...

Re: ScaleART - Assembling a MAN TGX/XL 6x6 tractor & Trailer

Hi Prop, going to take some time before this one is finished ... for some reason I can't seem to find time to work on it. And I will have to take the whole lot apart again for painting too. All good...

Re: Capo 1:8 Jeep CD15823

Hi Prop, happy to see you are at it again! New paint is looking good :)

Re: ScaleART - Assembling a MAN TGX/XL 6x6 tractor & Trailer

Re: ScaleART - Assembling a MAN TGX/XL 6x6 tractor & Trailer

:) Hi Jolipe, glad you enjoy the thread

Re: ScaleART - Assembling a MAN TGX/XL 6x6 tractor & Trailer

Hi Tracy,

Yeah, was wondering that myself. Was a bit surprised to just find the metal plate with a little bag of copper nails and no instructions. Was hoping it would be more like on the Arocs...

Re: ScaleART - Assembling a MAN TGX/XL 6x6 tractor & Trailer

In the package of the axle came some extra M2x8 bolts I had ordered for the rear wheels to replace the short bolts that came with the axles. As I mentioned before those short bolts were only 1 - 2...

Re: ScaleART - Assembling a MAN TGX/XL 6x6 tractor & Trailer

Re: ScaleART - Assembling a MAN TGX/XL 6x6 tractor & Trailer
