CRUSADER2

Great choice, i'll be watching.

Looking forward to following this build.

Really enjoying this build, its looking good, great detailing.

Finally got round to starting these two, I bought them both in the summer but other jobs had to be finished first. Although the Revell Aerodyne is the much later kit I found that there was probably more flashing and cleaning up to do than the AMT kit, in fact if it wasn't for the numbers on the sprue I would not have known which part was what, I find it quite therapeutic and relaxing cleaning up the parts ( before the stress of trying to match up all the parts) The AMT kit has not posed any major problems so far apart from there does not seem to be a drawing of the left hand side of the engine at all, I managed to glue the inline fuel filters too high up the block partly because the part was chamfered at the top back and looked like it should fit under the top of the engine block, too late to move it now without destroying the rest of the engine, I can live with it, you won't be able to see once the cabs on any way. There are a few little things with the revell kit like there does not seem to be a alternator and I can not work out how to fit the radiator without splitting the front of the chassis and lifting out the front crossmember ( all ready glued) all part of the fun and nothing that cannot be sorted, it is interesting building the two together, but if you think it will be better to post the builds separately let me know.

Nearly missed this one, great colour scheme and neat work, excellent job!!!

Its just in another league, what else can you say, it has been a fantastic build to follow and learn from, MANIFIQUE !!!!

Fantastic work, its a beast for sure, a real top job!!!

Great looking trailer, excellent work, really looks the part, is it going to get used and dirty?

Really nice neat work, the metallic blue looks spot on to me, and the decals are brilliant!!!

This tractor / trailer combo is going to look real, watching and looking forward to more photo's, great work!!!

Interesting builds, following your progress, looking forward to the next photo's

Looks great, excellent work!!!

Thanks for that extra info Leo, glad you posted that before I got any further with the engine, I wondered what the luberfiner did, I have only known oil filters attached to the engine block up to now, maybe it was the norm in the States, you live and learn as they say, and maybe some engine's had them over here in Europe as well, all the trucks I ever drove had the oil filters on the block, any way thanks again for the info and I will look up the other engine options as well, as you suggested.

Thanks for the info Pat, the diagrams and photos are just what I needed to do a little detailing on the engine, I found a few other photo's on the internet since I posted the message but the drawn diagrams you found will be the most useful I think, thanks again, cheers. I will put some photos on the site later but at the moment its not really that interesting and I have now run out of glue until our next visit to Britain at xmas.

Help! I am currently working on the AMT Kenworth K123 kit and have been searching all over the internet for some decent photo's of the cummins NTA 370 engine but without much luck, I have found a couple but they don't show much detail of the plumbing and electrics etc, I have realized that there does not seem to be an oil filter with the kit but that is easily fixed, if anybody can post some photo's or point me in the right direction that would be great, cheers all and happy hassle free modeling every one.

Excellent work and great detail as allways, a real professional job again, especially love the bolt head detail

Nice one, looks great!!!

Everything looks clean and straight to me, well worth all the hours and effort you put in, trailer looks good too, great work!!!

Think this one comes under Truck?

Excellent work Hermann, a great build to follow and learn from, top job again!!!
