No problem! Hope the link is useful!

Yes they are, the instructions advise you add some weight to the tanks, you will only need to do this if you want to display with the cab tilted. Here is my build, SONY DSC by richellis1978, on Flickr And some detail shots of the real deal http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234921843-iveco-stralis-6-x-2-tractor-unit/

Thats just the sort of thing I wanted, what cab is that? Sorry Im not an expert of US trucks or pickups!

Im watching this, I was looking at this conversion the other day

Hi, Ive been looking at pictures of 1950's Ford F-800, that had a pick-up cab and hood on a heavy truck chassis, was there any other trucks like this? Im thinking the Revell Ford F-100 would be a good cab on an AMT truck chassis I have with some work, is there any other kits I could do this with? Thanks

Hi, Im looking at converting the Moeibus ProStar cab to a 56" high rise cab, but cant find any good drawings to help with the chop, odes anyone have or can get hold of anything to help? Done some google-ing but would like some spec-sheets or cab drawings to help!

Its the 'club of four' cab IIR, I think Heller (Renault G260) and Italeri (Volvo Fire trucks) do them as cab-overs and could be converted with a scratchbuilt hood

I have been trying to get in touch with FG Models, I did the review on Britmodeller where you got the photo from. It does look like they have closed down, what a loss as the parts where of a very high quality.

I need some of those! Been after some for ages! Ill have to pop an order in! Time to save some money! Is the price for 4?

What a cracking build! Differant!

Why not contact the importer and see if you can buy the spares you need? I brought an incomplete Italeri kit a while back very cheap, and the UK importer for Italeri only charged £10 for the missing parts

Its the cab roof, I have some information and specifications for both and Ill post later today if wanted

Thanks

Hi, I have the Revell 4 axle Challenger (Peterbilt 359) wrecker, but as its 1:25, has anyone put it onto a 1:24 truck? I was thinking about putting it with an Italeri Westen Star constillation. thanks

if you put the 1:25 Revell low loader behing a 1:24 euro truck its about 5mm narrower

Thanks for the help there! I will crack the kit open and start when it arrives! Dis a black one last year so it will be nice to do a white one as well!

Thanks, its a '66 model so I can go white with the gold stripes then. Would the interior still be black?

Hi, I have a kit of the Shelby Mustang 'rent a racer' where they supplied to Hertz in any other colour than black, I have seen one or two pics on the web of white cars with the gold stripes, is this original? thanks

I would be interested if you have thoughts or ideas on this, you guys in the US have a better eye for US custom stuff!

Got this back on the bench now, I have some resin bits on the way for the rear wheel arches, but in the mean time Ive been sanding, smoothing and plating over areas! Custom sun visor on the cab done as well. The whole lot needs a dose of filling and sanding now but its coming together! The cab hood and sleeper sit a lot lower on the chassis to give the long low look, the cab doors hinge backwards, suicide style, and inside the driver has some sports seats from the spares box, and a gun as a custom shifter!

Hi Jerry, I was about to drop you an order, would it be best to hold off for a few weeks then? Rich

Hi, There is a missing flap, it got knocked off at a model show and went missing! It has now been found in the back of my car so will be re-attached soon!

Hi, I never expected a massive response, it is a Euro truck that has never been seen on US soil so worries from me about the lack of response. Even over here a US rig will get more comments. US trucks are just more sexy.

Thanks for the comments! The air lines came from KFS (Kit Form Services)

Hi, Second build off the bench is a Revell ProStar in Celadon livery using the ModelTruckin decals, awaiting a Great Dane trailer to match! A simple build, I did convert the couch style bed into a normal bed as seen in these fleet spec trucks.
