Hi All!

 

Some pics from my recent project. As you can see, there are a few mishaps i have to correct before i can put on the details on the trailer :unamused:

Does anyone have some photos from the wiring, hosing between truck and trailer? Couldn't find much on the Internet.

 

Cheers

Macki,

that is a weird vehicle, quite interesting. I have never seen a truck like this one before. Good luck with the wiring stuff, there must be people here who will be able to help you.

Cheers,

/Stefan

Nice work indeed, but for those who haven't seen anything like it before  https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=Airfix+US+Bomber+support+set&espv=2&tbm=isch&imgil=GEvZs_YKhnuwiM%3A%3B356FjNXB_dlzCM%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.aerodrome24.de%252Fen%252Fmilitary-vehicles%252Fairfix-1-72-usaaf-bomber-re-supply-set.html&source=iu&pf=m&fir=GEvZs_YKhnuwiM%3A%2C356FjNXB_dlzCM%2C_&usg=__P687ylemR6SfSK_BdZegTUqgWOs%3D&ved=0ahUKEwjN5ejTvMzSAhVHK8AKHaHXCLMQyjcINA&ei=7uPCWM22L8fWgAahr6OYCw&biw=1600&bih=770#imgrc=GEvZs_YKhnuwiM:

 

I don't think that it gives much help to the question of the wiring/hosing, such things tend to be ignored in the smaller scales.  You may be able to find something in books dedicated to US Army trucks, in particular the Red Ball Express, but that may be wishful thinking.
