stretched scania with wedico tanker project

[bigdogrod]

got some more work done... boxes made puttied, sanded, and waiting for paint, got the valves made and installed, made the front locking piece for the endcap, only thing left is rear bumper, piping underneath, and ladders, then dis-assembly and paint.




see if you can pick out which tamiya parts are in there... lol






yes the guard moves.. the caps come off too, but didn't get pic




got some aluminum in the box... ok it's just alum duct sealing tape



arsh end with stock king bumper.. not happy with it..




other side



the whole rig so far.. got the matching wheels on the scania

LoL, it's 4 air horns that you used to build the valves, I need two of those for my King Hauler

[bigdogrod]

you are correct sir

but you only get partial credit, there's 3 other stock tamiya parts in each valve assembly..

Turn signals and air breather top mount.

very good, give the man a beer

but still 1 more part in there...

screws don't count

ok, found a way to get another cab, buy a whole truck.. lol, i think i need to take a bit more off. i measured the tamiya wheel and scaled the real pic to match, then measured from the cab door to the end, and cut. but these 2 comparison pics don't seem to match real well

[bigdogrod]

cut about 3/4 inch off the cab, looks better now. i read that the builders added 51 inches to the original, so 1/14 of that is about 3.5 inches, and that's about where i'm at. i may have messed up using the blue tamiya cab, i thought it was pretty much just blue plastic, but it has a clear coat on it, so i sanded off as much as i could. especially where the glue will sit. i'll give it a gentle wash in brake fluid before bodywork.
