Terminal tractor
vekasiini replied to vekasiini's topic in Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Thank you all for your comments. This model was a nice build. -
"All the rest" folder contains more photos of Terminal Tractor. Maybe it's also a bit of the Big Rig. Link http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/120748-terminal-tractor/

I do not know is the All The Rest right place for this terminal tractor. The end result should be a low, powerful and built from spare parts. I try to plan everything myself, without reference pictures. The frame is from Italeri trailer. It's upside down. Caterpillar engine is unknown. Axles, wheels and tires are Italeri. Transmission is unfortunately manually.

2015 Cannonball Run CBP -completed builds thread
vekasiini replied to Jantrix's topic in Community Builds
Delahaye is ready to go. The body is almost original. Spare wheel cover is from Citroen 15. The base engine is a Buick V6 , transmission and tires from Ferrari. Front Axle from Mustang. All the rest is my own imagination. -
Thank you for the correction Jantrix. Let's start with the final spurt.

Delahaye October! Interior is almost ready. Seats, steering wheel and emergency brake handle are unknown series. The rear seat is modified the original. All the rest is my own design. Engine details are not yet ready. Two months still have time.
-
Great work all of you.
-
Delahaye September. The car is primed and painted with a thin layer of light brown. Mixer Humbrol Gloss brown and white Revell SM. I do not like the color, but this is a sleeper :). I polish the body smooth and marks. Maybe it will be completed sometime.
-
Thanks for you all. I hope I get it sometimes completed.

Delahaye August. Sorry my bad English and bad pictures. little progress. The frame is painted and gearbox is mounted. The front axle is from mustang and fitted with air suspension. For the first time I see a car height. there is plenty of room for radiator and intercooler in front of the engine. So far, the only changes in the body is the rear fenders air vents for the brakes. Sleeper.

Delahaye July. Sleeper is progressing gradually. Now it is the turn of body work to outline style. I do not want big changes in appearance. It does not look like a racing car.
-
Delahaye June. Little progress. The engine is painted. Exhaust manifolds and turbos are made of plastic tubes. Floor has received a putty layer. The engine comes with chrome parts, interior racing car-like. Body ... I do not know. Perhaps rusty.

Delahaye April and May Study Travel in Estonia cause problems in a construction project. But we go back to work in June.
