Bennyg Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Hi fellas, here are some pics of what I've been working on. It's from Auslowe in Australia. It's coming together well so far. Enjoy Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDA Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 This being an Australian truck, are you guys' frames double frames, with bigger radiators, and heavier axles!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bennyg Posted December 6, 2012 Author Share Posted December 6, 2012 This being an Australian truck, are you guys' frames double frames, with bigger radiators, and heavier axles!? They used to be double framed but I've been shown that the frames are now deeper, and thicker. Typical road train spec would run a 600hp engine, 18 speed box, Rockwell 6 rod, also heavier front axle. Cheers BenAlso this is based on a lonestar kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Bryan Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Nice one Ben, looks great so far, What colours are you planning? A little tip for you, check the exhaust out before committing to paint, the roof fowls a little with the exhaust pipe, and you may need to mod it a little Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truckabilly Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 It looks great. What engine is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bennyg Posted December 7, 2012 Author Share Posted December 7, 2012 It looks great. What engine is it? Supposed to be a cummins signature 600, but it's only a basic representation. Auslowe includes a cummins tapper cover in the transkit. Looks good enough to me. Auslowe also does a complete cummins signature 600.

A little tip for you, check the exhaust out before committing to paint, the roof fowls a little with the exhaust pipe, and you may need to mod it a little I plan to paint it red chassis, red and white cab with red and white pinstripe. Cheers for the tip for the exhaust. Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Albion Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 Looks like your off to a good start. Something different as well. We don't see many Australian spec vehicles on the forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bennyg Posted December 9, 2012 Author Share Posted December 9, 2012 Hmmmm, that cab looks good for a W900L... I don't think the cab will fit the w900 bonnet from p&p resin. There is a difference in width between the amt t600 cab and this cab. Cheers Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
