Bainford Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 Oh yeah, that's really looking the part. Looks good up on its wheels. Nice tire/wheel set.

Not near as nice as this scratchbuild, of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HJK Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 Hi Tom, the Winnebago looks gorgeous. I really like the front view of it. May I ask what the status of the planned master of the GMC fish bowl bus is? I didn't notice an update for a long time. Take care, Juergen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take care, Juergen The GMC: I need to finish the bucks for the windshield and rear window. Assuming I don't add rivets, the body could be ready in a few days. I expect any day now to have someone 3D print one, and render mine obsolete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Repstock Posted March 2, 2022 Author Share Posted March 2, 2022 If anyone has pics of the underside of this, or a similar Winnebago, I would be most grateful. Anything would help. I've got references for everything but underneath. I'd like to see what the tanks and plumbing (etc.) look like in place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After a lengthy search online, the only reference I could find was that it was built on a Dodge RM300 chassis and these pics. Unfortunately, no one has tipped their Winnie on the side and taken pictures. Sorry, I tried. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it from a readily available kit, or will you be scratching that too? My parents had a 1969 24 foot Winnebago that had a Dodge 318 engine and 727 transmission. Got maybe 6 MPG if we had a tail wind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Repstock Posted May 18, 2022 Author Share Posted May 18, 2022 (edited) After running into roadblocks on my other projects, I circled back to this. I've made the inner wall panels out of .015 sheet. This will allow me to detail the panels off the model, and help hold the "glass" in. Not much, but something.
