MAN F8 41.440 VFS 8x4

[Twist67]

This is another build of my friend.

He used an old Italeri MAN F8 and converted it inot an heavy hauler.He sratchbuild the rack and the frontbumper and some cab extensions and other parts.The cab sits a little bit higher on the frame as on the normal F 8 truck.The trailer was scratchbuilt by myself some years ago and it´s loaded with the Michigan L-190.The MAN is nearly finished......

An really impressive combo....

That´s a picture of the original truck

You could see more pictures on his website:

Hi Tim,

yes thats really impressive.Just for fun we placed my Peterbilt 377 SFFA in front of my trailer and loaded it with the Michigan....You know the lenght of the 377 so you can imagine how long this model will be.....

Andreas( my friend) wanted to built a european heavy hauling four axle trailer for his MAN.....He also builded and excellent KFS Cat with rolling tracks.....

Chris,

What a great build! The details are superb. Do you have any photos of the Goose Neck Hitch on the drop deck trailer?

Best Wishes

Your 377 SFFA looks right at home pulling this!

Hi,

Dave,the rear end of the trailer came from the AMT lowboy,the other parts are scratchbuild.....Maybe if I´ll build it today I´ll change some things on it but not much.

Cheers,Chris
