D8R +463 in 1/5,6

[D8R]

Have been traveling and working to much lately, but did get some progress done last couple of days.
Worked on the door locking/handle units, goal was to get those working and they will.
Here´s the base when milled from stock of brass. More pics when installed on doors.


Did get the parts for the front doors on hood laser cut in steel, have started to assemble all parts (did order to many to have some spares).
The covers for hub reduction was also cut out togheter with new doors for cab. The first doors was made to thin, the new was cut in 1mm steel.


During the travel we visited the Faszination Modellbau show in southern Germany, don´t know if there´s a place to show pics on Forum.
I give you a couple here and will come back with more.

Amazing build!

Using a 4-stroke gas engine is interesting.

Great choice of motors too. A quick search on youtube shows how much power they have and how nice they sound.
