truckmodell Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Hi My new project is Scania R730 8x4 Heavy Haulage Tractor. At first estimation are some parts like from complete MAD Scania, tower and wheels are changed. The engine in this complete is standard for Italeri and is not OK so that I will remake it, I will also remake some resin parts which don't like and this parts I will substitute with polystyren. General impression is OK, it looks great and I'm glad of this project. Thank you for this model to Heinz Schwarz and Guido Kehder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bennyg Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 So the pieces are poorly done? Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gatorincebu Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 So the pieces are poorly done? Ben Ben, I do not think it is that the pieces are poorly done.. I just read a detailed post in the Model truck World Forum. Concerning this very issue. What it boils down to.Is a mistake in the instructions. And now that it has been pointed out. I do not see a problem. And yes I do have one of these kits enroute to me. I am looking forward to receiving this kit. As I know the box weighs in around 3 kilos. That is a lot of plastic resin and photo etch! Be Well Gator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truckmodell Posted July 10, 2015 Author Share Posted July 10, 2015 Hi My answer about error in plan "part no. 7": I don't say that is this catastrophe of world extensions and I never said that are parts bad made or is the model bad quality. My opinion is still positive and I assert that is worth to buy this model! This article is very good made! All parts which I will repair I will repair because of my wish and not because of errors! With this pictures I want to warn on error in plan that you will not glue "part no.7" on wrong side and with this I don't think anything badly.

David, I for one.Understood completely what you were doing .With the photos and explanation of the error. I have just purchased this kit.And waiting for it to arrive here. And I am also following your build thread very closely. As you build at a higher level of detail than I do. But one can always learn. Thanks for your post and this build thread.
