Twist67 Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 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: http://home.arcor.de/ahm/in_bau/in_bau2.htm Thanks for looking, Cheers,Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twist67 Posted February 2, 2007 Author Share Posted February 2, 2007 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..... more pictures: http://home.arcor.de/ahm/cat%20bagger/cat_325b_l.htm Cheers,Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twist67 Posted February 3, 2007 Author Share Posted February 3, 2007 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.
