Very nice. I do mis the sunvisor though. Matter of choice I guess. Hessel

Nice one....

I bought this at an auction. KFS has been sold as a company since then. This is an older kit from them. Still can be found on the second hand market. Might be pricy though.

Another one of my 'covid' builds. In fact this is the original issue of the International 4070a. All pics at https://public.fotki.com/modeltrucks25thscale/our_own_models_and/dmtc-members/hessel/finished-models/international-4070a/ Hessel

My latest, Ford CL9000. KFS conversion with Italeri chassis. Fueltanks from Moebius. Last weekend for the first time on display at the annual "on the road" show in Jabbeke Belgium.

Also finished this one in the Covid era. Mack Anthem. 3d printed parts wth a lot of scratch. Chassis is Volvo VN. Hessel

Long time since I psted here. Finished this one last year. F700 Mack. KFS kit

There is also a paper model of this rig. It's from Angraf. https://public.fotki.com/modeltrucks25thscale/paper-models-variou/angraf/no-04-2016-m1070-m1000.html Hessel

I have just finished the Hino HH with dumptrailer. Your model looks realy nice

Minimanfactory also have a Kraz 955B resin kit. Very nice casting. Rare model for you but should be in many collections. It's in mine ? http://www.minimanfactory.com/en/kraz-255b-russian-6x6-heavy-truck-1-25-i33/ Hessel

Don't know it this came around here. Minimanfactory makes this very limited Oshkosh M911. http://www.minimanfactory.com/en/m911-8x6-heavy-equipment-tractor-i53/ Hessel

I could have them 3d printed. Orderable at shapeways. What tire would you use?

Where can I get that PE. I have a resin conversion of the CAT but love that PE

We might have some spare-parts if parts of the trailer are broken Jacobus.

Really good looking, but..... I would consider other wheels/tires for the truck. The trailer has really detailed one's but the kit tires don't look right now.

Curious about the trailer....... https://public.fotki.com/modeltrucks25thscale/our_own_models_and/dmtc-members/hessel/finished-models/xl-specialized-bd-t/ Hessel

Revell has all the instructions on a data-base online and since they issued this lonestar as well....

Looking real good. Whit some extra time I could probably draw it and CNC mill the parts, but.... so many other things to do ;-)

I was scrolling trough the topics and saw this one. I have been able to develop two bottom dump trailers. You can find them on our Fotki site: http://public.fotki.com/modeltrucks25thscale/our_own_models_and/dmtc-members/hessel/in-progress-models/centerline-bottom-d/ http://public.fotki.com/modeltrucks25thscale/our_own_models_and/dmtc-members/hessel/in-progress-models/xl-specialized-bd-t/ thanks for you replies. Hessel

Get me some details and I will give it a try

In the meanwhile I have finished the Mack for 99%. Still the fifth wheel needs to be installed. License plate and other minor detailing needs to be done. You can find all the photo's on our Fotki site: https://public.fotki.com/modeltrucks25thscale/our_own_models_and/dmtc-members/hessel/in-progress-models/mack-trident/ Thanks for the reply's Hessel

For a few months I have been working on an Australian Mack Trident. I have used the generic chassis of the US Italeri trucks and added an axle to it. The tanks are modified from Revell. The engine should be the Mack E7 but I decided to use the motor if the donor kit instead. The cab is a Auslowe resin one. First some base white and then a yellow colour was added. The wheels are a different storie. I decided to rework the wheels I had developed for the 'Conforti' Mack and also developed tires for that. I had them 3d printed. A dry fit with the wheels on it and the chassis painted dark gray. And in some later stage again a dry fit with the cab on the chassis. I have deleted a frame for the rear fenders. Parts are CNC milled and then fixed together. The Mack is about 90% ready. Still some parts have to be placed and some weathering needs to be done. Final photo's will be placed in time. The truck is intended in front of my TRT widening trailer.

I did read that and feel flattered ;-) Koos sent me a message about your build so I looked it up. A link to all the photo's I took of my build: http://public.fotki.com/modeltrucks25thscale/our_own_models_and/dmtc-members/hessel/in-progress-models/mack-dm800-conforti/ Hessel
