Default Re: DAF F1300

Hi thanks I have projects enough. Or way to many. About this one I can build it cheap. I have some left overs.
The frontaxle.


Once I had an old wedico axle in parts and some silicone for a mold mixed to much. A day later I had a mold for the old wedico axle. It needs some attention but it will do. Because the cab is not the usual width the axle middle part is more narrow that the original wedico. The copperwire is just for now.

The wheels are also a resin cast. Again not perfect. It's an experiment. It looks to roll good enough. For the looks they will be replaced in the future. The tires also an experiment. Now on the wheel is a wide version. I'm going to cast the narrow version. The tire has a 65mm diameter and fits a regular 1:16 rim.
I hope it works

Grtz PetervR
