cruz Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Hey guys, anyone of you know where I can get real reference photos for the engine of this model truck or similar? Sites? Links? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim B Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 The engine in this kit is a Caterpillar 1160 which is the predecessor to the 3208. I believe Ford designated this a V200 (or something like that). Depending on the year that you are modeling (the kit is a 1973 or so), the engine should be Ford Blue or New Caterpillar Yellow. This article might help some: http://public.fotki.com/modeltrucks25thscale/model_magazine_articles/car_modeller/cm09_sept_1991_cate/ Here's mine in Ford Blue (same kit, by the way): A radiator brace was added after this photo was taken.
