Thanks Nate They are more or less static and JB welded in place..i just slipped some short lengths of BIC lighter springs over the the Ant ..great idea though ...may do some mods in the future .I was thinking of stopping at the music store and checking out the guitar strings..Im at that point where im adding some of the small details ..still rear mud guards to do as well


Thanks Very very much ..those kind of add on seem to add a bit more realizam. Ive seen some of the stuff some of the guys do with the 1/24 static models ..amazing some of the detail that goes into them ..My eyes and pateints are not quite that good ..anyway Thanks again Jo

There was a few Pacifics at the ATHS show in duncan so I did manage to get a few shots of the old girl sitting on a few fenders ..Both of the these trucks were carrying Log Jeeps so that was kind of cool..The owner of the Light green P9 was pretty impressed

Great pics Lou. I had hoped to do the same on sunday with the LW kenworth but the owner wasn't around.:(

Re: Daycab workhorse Pacific P510 P
 

Great photos! Can't help but notice the pride taken in the P9 Pacific. The Phillips screw heads are all matching, and perfectly aligned! That's a good looking truck.

The girl with cancer is doing well. Her name is Hannah. That's cool you are flying the purple.

Re: Daycab workhorse Pacific P510 P
 

I really like this truck...those spoke wheels really set this apart from the rest...

Who's rear tires are those? Do they fot stock tamiya rims....I could use a set for my Mack I'm building

Re: Daycab workhorse Pacific P510 P

Re: Daycab workhorse Pacific P510 P
 

Good looking logger!

I like the old Pacific's used to work on a few 20 yrs ago in the NZ Forests

We'll done on your build, I've been following rclogger and your builds for a while

Cheers

Re: Daycab workhorse Pacific P510 P
 

Thanks Paul ..really enjoyed this build and following yours as well..On the weekend I met up with a fella that worked for pacific building the preloaders..This guy knew his stuff ...he instantly recognised it as a 510P and was pretty impressed ...we pointed out a few things that were off though ..Still a few things I want to add and finish though ..Thanks again and cheers

Re: Daycab workhorse Pacific P510 P
 

This is one of those trucks that if you showed it to somebody new to the hobby, parked along side a stock King Hauler they would probably never guess the two were related.

Re: Daycab workhorse Pacific P510 P
 

Lou do you have any photos of your two rigs together? Love your work.

Re: Daycab workhorse Pacific P510 P
 

Love the photo's, one very nice truck. You did a great job.

Re: Daycab workhorse Pacific P510 P
 

Nice job! It's always cool to see something different!

Re: Daycab workhorse Pacific P510 P
 

I think it's a shelf queen boys. I've been to several shows with Lou and this truck is always there but it never moves. Maybe he thinks it's too pretty to work?:p

Re: Daycab workhorse Pacific P510 P
 

Well might be a queen, but its down right nice build. Looks like it got dirty hauling logs by the one picture.

On another note, is there RC shows on the mainland at any time? Would love to go to one.

Lou
I have a question about this truck, assume it was modelled after a real truck. Was there a reason for the dual air cleaners and dual exhaust pipes on the curb side?

Jim

Re: Daycab workhorse Pacific P510 P
 

That truck is modeled after a Pacific P16. It is an off highway size truck and has an offset cab hence the air cleaners and exhaust on the passenger side.

I was just ribbing Lou a little about the P510 being a shelf queen. I have seen it loaded with logs but only when parked. The last couple of shows we were at I believe it was having some radio issues and that's why it didn't get used.

No shows that we know of on the mainland. The next one we will attend will likely be in July at the Forest Discovery Center in Duncan BC.
