Default Re: Scania airport fire truck

Started off with a Tamiya Scania R620 kit.
Modification of the air deflector things from R to P model:


I used the bracket as a template for where to drill the new holes. The upper hole for mounting the corner nostril is now its lower hole.


Cab split in half and the bottom cut away to make a P cab.


100% homemade rear doors from 3 layers of 1mm styrene sheet.


Large 1mm plate as the main section of the roof


5mm x 1.5mm strips on both sides of the cab, with another strip angled on top.
0.5mm sheet cut into long wide strips, layered together to form an appropriately angled base on top of the cab.


0.5mm strips and the sunroof cover in place. 4mm wide 0.25mm strip on the outside of 1x1.5mm strips for the sides.


Extending the bottom of the doors and rear corners by 4mm


Converting the front bumper


And fenders


The rear modules are mostly big flat pieces glued together.


Simple hinges for the rear lower lockers, with the same movement as the 1:1.



Uhm…. Tadaa. There are more pictures of the rear modules in the album.


Rear suspension is raised as much as possible by using custom brackets from forum member egronvold, and mounting them lower on the frame. The front axle is turned upside down and should be about the same height as it will be if I swap it with a TLT axle.
