This photoshoot is about the Modelshow Europe.

This is a show specially for construction equipment, heavy transport and cranes, and is for all scales and materials, such as Lego, Meccano, Fisher technik, diecast models and of course RC models. You can also trade and buy lots of stuff.

It's held once a year in the center of Holland and attracks lots of enthousiasts from all over Europe.

I made a serie of photo's from the RC models in the 1:14 scale from the last edition of march 2011.

I will kick off with a model of an old Daf. It's a model 2600 and when the original was released in 1962 it was highly acclaimed for it's revolutionairy cab and comfort for the long distance transport.

This model is selfbuild, the cab is made out of PU resin.

The next model is from a builder i know from the dutch forum.
It's a conversion of a Volvo F12 from Wedico to a Third generation F16.
It's a 8x4 heavy transport tractor and the chassis and tower behind the cab are completely selfbuild from brass.

The trailer is a Faymondville lowloader, but this is a wooden mockup for the real yet to build trailer.
