BigBad Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 (edited) KFS was supposed to carry the A&N conversions but I don't see them on their site anymore. Has anybody bought the "australian cabover" yet? I know A&N is still alive and they updated their site to be more customer friendly though.

chuckyr Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 KFS was supposed to carry the A&N conversions but I don't see them on their site anymore. Has anybody bought the "australian cabover" yet? I know A&N is still alive and they updated their site to be more customer friendly though. This was discussed several years ago in the Yahoo MTDG. A modeler made the masters of the Freightliner Argosy and was going to sell it thru KFS. Mercedes Benz, which owns Freightliner wanted all types of legal information concerning the Argosy model. KFS decided it wasn't worth offering it. Andrey Myakotkin (A&N) offered a altered version and call it "Australian Cabover." He offers an American version with left hand drive. Andrey Myakotkin (A&N) has a web site, is on Facebook, is a regular poster on the Yahoo Dutch Truck Model Group and is on another prominent truck model magazine forum. De Elegant models offered a Coronado. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chuckyr Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 I see that A&N is making a Freightliner Coronado . I received a correspondence from Andrey Myakotkin (A&N) today, there is no decision on what the American conventional will be, when it will offered and the cost. His "goal is to make quality, interesting and detailed kit," as he put it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

highway Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Even though I would just like to have a modern Freightliner period, I have to say I would rather see the sleeper version be a set forward 70" condo instead of the small sleeper.

highway Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 You know Anthony, strangely I actually like the 34", I have ideas for it already. I wouldn't like a 1:1, though, I'm a big boy and I don't think I'd fit back there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
