[Marcel74]

Thank you

[aussietruckerguy]

Great detail and it looks just like the real thing!! Well done, I hope I can get my two scanias to this level.

[dabears]

Those trailers are prob the best ones ive seen yet!

[Claus]

Beautiful build! Great attention to details.

[Espeefan]

This build is really nice. Not many Wedicos around this forum, but yours is one of the best. I like the details and effort you put into making this truck turn out so great. The lights are awesome, and the trailers look really nice, even if they aren't finished yet. Keep it up.

[crawler07]

wow all your details are so clean. i will take notes on those tire carriers for sure, as im about to build one for my dump truck..

[rappy]

love the trailers very nice indeed

[aussietruckerguy]

Still amazed with your modelling. Have you got any more information on the fabrication of those trailers? There an amazing example of modelling.

[Claus]

Are you happy with the Veroma transmission and it's ratios? I'm currently building a Wedico Peterbilt with the aluminum 3 speed, dual Buhler motors and a PMD 4:1 reduction. I'm very happy with the speeds but not very happy with the transmission or the combination box, both have weaknesses.

The Trailers Cargoarea lenght are 525mm and 945mm and the Wide is 172mm.
I built the Chassie from a 2mm L-Profil with 5mm brass holder. At the Trailers front i built a 6mm aluminum plate for the Kingpin. The Wheels are from Leimbach and the landing legs are from Schulztec.

Im happy with it, the ratio is good. Some have problems with the Second Speed but my transmission is ok. I don't need a combination box, because the Motor have enough power .

[Claus]

I wasn't very clear, it's the Wedico transmission I had problems with. Was thinking about using the Veroma but went with the RC Channel transmission for now. Thank you for your reply.

Keep up the build, looks great!

[Marcel74]

for the Mudguards I turned myself a suitable aluminum tube that this is in compliance with the original "plastic Mudguards". After the pipe was cut in half, there were still glued aluminum statements.





Comparison blank and Cast Resin.



I need 22 pieces for the trailer.



On the trailer it looks like.

[Claus]

Great work on the fenders, they look fantastic.

[aussietruckerguy]

VERY NICE!!!! I need some of those too. What was the other website that you posted this build? It had some great photos and information but I lost the web link. Thanks Andrew. BTW Im building a van road train using the tamiya kit. Starting to look good thanks to your good ideas.

[Marcel74]

Thanks
