Thank you, nice that you like my model. I know a lot of work ahead of me.

marcel, is there any chance that you can measure your exhaust and intake diameters on the headache rack, as i need that to model the same thing on my scania as im just a bit lost without finding good shots of the real thing online.

Thanks

The Exhaust is the Original from Wedico Art. Nr. 464 i made new pipes with 10mm diameter, the Original from Wedico was to small and short.

The Intake "Snorkel" is 11mm high and 16mm wide, narrows to the rear
to 13,5mm. The diameter in the lower part is also 13.5mm. the Pipe to the Air Filter is 11 an 12mm in the diameter.





The mass is in Scale 1:14,5 (Wedico). I have only 2 pics for the Snorkel, one from OZ Scania (front view) and a Swiss Kenny (side view), I then converted these into the scale

I do not know precisely how they are, maybe there is someone here in the forum you just give the original mass.

Absolutely fantastic!
Another great use for a Scania! Never thought it could look this good.


Big Run - And so the Scania grows on me... as does everything...

At the moment no other Projekt at work. First, the trailers are finished. In planing is a CR16 8x8 dump truck.

A small detail is finished, the WA Custom Car-Plate.



Furthermore, a still photo from the last event in Switzerland.

[Trucker Al]

Love your 'LOADS' and the whole truck...

[Marcel74]

After little Break, the construction goes on

First a few pics from Events







I made a little bit on the Trailers. The rear bumber for the Dolly and the Lead was milled by a 8mm Alu-platte.







For the 45" Trailer, i made alu-plates on the exist brass-bumber. the holes are for the LED because of the small mounting deep of the original rearlights.





I went for the rail construction aluminum holder.







Next, I have 106 brass holder soft solder

[dabears]

WOW that bumper looks great!! I love your idea for your rail jig!

[aussietruckerguy]

Yet again Im amazed with the quality of your modelling!

[crawler07]

[Marcel74]

Thank you,

Here are the result of the Rail after solder, i know i have lot of work to finish the Rail.





I made a second Toolbox for each Trailer with 2mm ABS.





The Tyre Carrier i dit it with 3mm brass.





And 2 pics to see how it looks like.
