Hermann Kersten Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Hello modellers! Today i'd like to introduce you all a Mercedes Benz NG 2032 with a 20ft tank container, what i build in 2005. The base is a Revell 1/25 kit from the early 80s and i made a complete modefication of this standard tractor. First i had to change the roof to a higher roof, instead of the flat roof from the kit. As you can see, the cabine is reduced to a half sleeper, the chassis changed to a 6x4/2, the engine modefied from a V8 to a V10 and some extra details on and inside the cabine. The trailer is a CNC kit and is modefied to a Pacton trailer, the rims are 3D printed and as last but not least, the tank container is 100% scratchbuild. The tank is water tight and can really be filled and emptied. First i will show you some pictures of the building proces and at the end, afcourse the complete rig. I hope you find this an interesting vintage rig from the late 70s. Hermann. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
