tiking Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 It’s been mix feelings with this Heller kit. But seeing that it was a very old kit and compromises were taken into account, I now learn my way around such discrepancies in this kit. All-in-all, it was an ‘OK’ build, despite my frustrations. Barlas Pehlivan, was also kind to help answer some of my annoying questions, concerning this kit. So kudos to him. My apologies for the pics. I will take better ones later. It was very windy outside today and I could not get the right photos I wanted. Oh well, you can’t win every time. ? Hope you enjoy the photos regardless. I also added some wip photos o the interior, as it was difficult to get good shots of the interior after the roof and doors were install.

Jim B Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Looks awesome, Charles. Fantastic weathering job. What do the numbers (90, 80, 60) on the rear of the cab signify? I've seen these on European trucks, and I've always wondered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamsuperdan Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Wow. Just wow. The realism and the detailing could be some of the best I've seen here. Very, very impressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim B Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Thanks, Charles. 60km/h (37mph) doesn't seem very fast for a highway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in Sweden, trucks are limited to 80 on a 100km/h road. Even less on lesser speed limit roads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRUSADER2 Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Absolutely fantastic, brilliant, really inspirational work, the attention to detail is second to none, a real show winner!!! Makes you just want to get in and drive it, but maybe not on the road though eh? still it reminds me of one we had where I worked for a while back in the 80s, that one was still just about road worthy. Anyway just brilliant!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janne Herajärvi Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Realistic looking and amazing.. 60km/h feels pretty fast behind steering wheel of truck in some norwegian highways.. Lots of nice details here and there, weathering is spot on... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger U Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Excellent weathering! The missing chunk of the tire is so realistic, all of the weathering of the interior and exterior looks realistic. A beautiful model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
