tiking Posted April 29, 2011 Posted April 29, 2011 This is my first 1 / 24 scale truck ever.This is a DAF 380ati Space cab, an old kit. The kit went together quite well except for some minor issues with battery box, which did not fit well. I also had problems with the painting that caused a rough surface on the passenger side. But besides that, it was a fun kit to build. Hope you all like it. I'm still adding little details every now and then.
muleskinner Posted April 30, 2011 Posted April 30, 2011 Now this is one fine looking Euro Rig. The weathering gives it life and I love the chipped paint on the fuel tank. Great build. William
stewart Posted April 30, 2011 Posted April 30, 2011 Nice build. Great job with the weathering and diorama. STewart
tiking Posted April 30, 2011 Author Posted April 30, 2011 Thanks gents. Glad you both like it. I love my vehicles dirty. I did 1/35 modern armor before this so dirt takes first place.
Foxer Posted April 30, 2011 Posted April 30, 2011 Your experience with armor weathering shows ... that is gorgeous!
tiking Posted April 30, 2011 Author Posted April 30, 2011 Thanks gents. I'm a huge fan of Euro trucks. In my eyes, they are the best looking trucks.
Leonidas Posted May 1, 2011 Posted May 1, 2011 That's one of the best Euro trucks I've seen. Really nice work, I love it!
loghauler70 Posted May 1, 2011 Posted May 1, 2011 Wow! those are one of my favorite European trucks you did a great job on it. Mark
Kostas Parchas Posted May 1, 2011 Posted May 1, 2011 Very nice truck, impresive details. I would love to see again this kit reissued. Kostas.
tiking Posted May 1, 2011 Author Posted May 1, 2011 Very nice truck, impresive details. I would love to see again this kit reissued. Kostas. Thanks. This kit, I found on Ebay. There are some on Ebay if you look now.
Wagoneer81 Posted May 2, 2011 Posted May 2, 2011 (edited) This is one of those models that has that 'just right feel' to it. Your weathering is first rate and I love the setting! This is a well used, not abused tractor... I'm not a big fan of the single-screw DAF tractors (They just look odd to me...) but this tandem job sure has my number. I just looked, there're none on eBay right now, but I'll keep looking. I think I just found my first Euro-Truck project. Edited May 2, 2011 by Wagoneer81
