Re: Ford HN80
Thx Big John.
I´ve already glued it to the cab but havn´t had the time to get the sandpaper out. First I wanted to put on the typical aussie style plastic mudguards but the original mechanical suspension ist a real pain and I would have had to cut out every little bit that is in the way. So I changed plans over to the flexi guard system and it was literary labour day today

Re: Ford HN80
Wow, that's some beautiful machining! The cab wall turned out great. I've found that fuel tanks on any truck are a matter of what looks good to the eye, and not necessarily 'made to scale'. Proportions on these models can be fudged a little, when they are produced. The fenders look really nice.

Re: Ford HN80
Cheers Chris!
The next step is finding or better making some mud flaps for it. Only problem is that I havn´t made up my mind if it is a CAT, Cummins, or Detroit Diesel inside  Tail light design is finished, but it will need some further testing, if my ideas can be realised. So no big progress planned for the next few weeks but lots of testing

Re: Ford HN80
Louie's dad here, wheelbase measurements are from the centre of the front stub axle to the middle of the bogies, thats how we measure them out here and the states also, Sleekline made those sleepers for Finemores Louivilles later becoming HN80's ,they were car carriers with the Stinger trailers imported from America, some how they got away with running them overlength here, notice no-one imports Stingers here any more, think they had to run on a B-Double route

Re: Ford HN80
Thx Louie´s dad for your explainations!
I think I got the wheelbase about right. Only one or two cm too long maybe. Might shorten it again. Like I said I had to do some testing. I got the first results now:
