richellis Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Here is my year in builds, not a bad year, 4 completed. Ill do them in order of completing. First off the bench was an 1/24 Italeri DAF 105 XF in the Swiss company Schoni livery. Almost an OOB build, It has some KFS rubber low liner tyres as this is a max-cube truck, resin air-con pod on the roof and some adjustments to lower the ride height DSC_0010 by richellis1978, on Flickr DSC_0012 by richellis1978, on Flickr Second is a scale drop, 1/35 trumpeter FAUN german tank transporter, I saw the real truck a few years ago working for ALE in Stafford. The decals are from a german company on EBay, mainly OOB exept for the ballast box. used some Eduard etch on this also.

These trucks where worked very hard untill they fell to bits, when they where welded back together and put bact to work! 1/24 scale using a resin cab, everything else is scratchbuilt. Lots of build photos here image1 (1) by richellis1978, on Flickr image2 by richellis1978, on Flickr image1 by richellis1978, on Flickr last off the bench is a Revell 1/24 Iveco stralis Hi-way in the Italian livery of Gruber. This is another lowliner build using KFS rubber tyres, the chassis has been drilled out to copy the 1:1 with a lot of etch parts from CTM inside and out. Fully plumbed chassis. I went all out to detail this and its weathered to show a looked after but worked truck DSC_0010 by richellis1978, on Flickr DSC_0008 by richellis1978, on Flickr DSC_0004 by richellis1978, on Flickr DSC_0005 by richellis1978, on Flickr Lastly one of my euro-liners together DSC_0014 by richellis1978, on Flickr More pics of my builds for this year are on my Flickr here 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
