Klaus, thank you for sharing those pictures!

I know this truck from Trucker Magazine since I was a little boy.

Hello Jan,

no problem! It is pleasure for me to help other modellers. By the way the article in the Trucker Magazin was written by me ( March 1996, Page 26 ).

It was definitely based on your article, just translated into Czech as it was in Trucker CS, a Czech (or better Czechoslovakian) version of the German original.

Well, I've been slowly working away at this one.
I've managed to get the cab 90% finished, just got to sort the headboard & horns etc. before fixing the roof on, while the body is slowly starting to take shape.
Hope you like!!









More soon!!

That's looking good Neil. Where did you get the hubs for the rear axles from?

I made them!!
They are actually KFS Volvo rear hubs that I have altered with some filler and Evergreen strip.

Another quick update on this one.
It's all starting to take shape quite quickly now.
I've replaced the decking on the rear bodywork with brass tread plate from KFS. A bit of a fiddle to get right bit I think it looks better than the chrome stuff supplied with the kit!!
I've also had the decals back from Chris Moxham so they have been fitted too.
With any luck, this should be finished soon!!







More soon!!
