Wow, that’s a trip down memory lane. I had one of those as a kid! One of those things forgotten about until now. Yeah, not accurate, but I enjoyed playing with it.
Great looking build. I like the thoughtful details and add-ons like the sanders and the treatment of the grille. Stuff like properly painting the grille can be a real challenge on resin models like this. Nice work.
As I said on the other forum, I’m pleased to see a group photo of the complete series. The trailer is excellent and makes for a great “billboard” behind the tractors.
Once you get that done, may I suggest adding lenses and bezel trim from Czech Truck Model. CTM has them in both 1/24 and 1/25 for Italeri or Revell. Moluminum sells them here in the States. Top notch.
Understandable. It’s a massive project, and that would be a huge cab to tilt. It’ll be a fantastic build regardless. I have a Trumpeter Eagle in the stash that I’ll get to someday. Whenever I think about the build I ponder putting a Series 60 under the cab. I remember seeing someone do that before.
I prefer resin tires too, in heavy builds like this, as they are stronger and don’t have the potential to fail over time. A smart choice. Excellent design of the axles, too. Do you have plans for an engine?
