The book is in German 😬

I have had a look in the library and thought jackpot… this is the only photo showing any detail of the susies Looking they don’t have modern coiled susies, but thick black pipes/ cables that connect the two

A few corgi models I’ve stripped, and modified over the past few weeks all in 1:50 scale ERF EC, Banks’s brewery, stripped and the wheelbase shortened to make a correct 3.4m, rear chassis removed and rear crossmember added, tekno 5th wheel Foden S21 Lloyds of Wednesbury. A simple strip and re-paint with Dodgers decals custom decals (he did all my models in this post) Derek Horton Foden Alpha strip and repaint again, Tekno 5th wheel, and extra details added Finally and just finished today ready for Gaydon show next weekend, 2 corgi models stuck together to give a ‘Chinese six’ in the colours of Walsall lorry royalty Horace Kendrick. Lastly an odd one, build for a friend a corgi Foden S21 was a tipper, mixer body is from a cheap Chinese toy, donkey engine is a matchbox tractor that’s been chopped up, decals from Rally Models

Im sure I’m not the only person who come back of holiday with some model builds planned as a memory of the trip 😉 Went to Barbados last year and when I got home I saw this rare 1:24 Mitsubishi Fuso dumper on eBay I dug deep and brought it! This is a typical style Japanese imported tipper used on the island, not a copy of any lorry I saw but just the look. CO Williams is a construction company on the island with a fleet of European, American and Asian trucks. This wasn’t an enjoyable build, there is parts not mentioned in the instructions, there is no prop shaft to the rear drive axle, it’s designed to be motorised originally so holes and badly fitting parts 😬 The tipper works with a spring in the ram, and fully working supports.

With Gaydon in 2 weeks it’s a rush getting everything finished 😬 There was very almost a third completed today

An Italeri DAF XF, modified with Auslowe low profile tyres, chassis and suspension modified to give a low height chassis to allow 4m trailers in Europe.

Italeri 1:24 MAN TGX with MaxDecals, modified to make a standard European fleet truck with working lights

Finally finished this fantastic kit. A few extra detail added by me and made to look well used link to the kit; https://modellersresource.co.uk/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=220&search=Roller

I had a feeling that may be the case. Now what would be a suitable load…..

Thanks for the review, I seam to be growing a small 1:24 tractor kit stash and this looks like it needs adding. I’m glad they chose this scale over there normal 1:35 👍

Morning, picked up a M1070 kit, is there a conversion to the British version? Is it new cab and hood or is it much deeper?

I plan to use bits of the beluga and the a330 together, the A330 will need cutting before the wing to give the a330-2 dimension as Airbus did to the real one for stability, then using the beluga lower flight deck with the A330 nose and the upper section widened and lengthened possibly 🤔

I’m sure airfix did a book 🤔

So, I’ve got a revell beluga and an A330 on pre-order, just thinking about chopping both into the XL? Any thoughts?

I use Roger Johnson, Dodgers Decals. He is on Facebook

I’ve driven one and it’s awful 🤣

Probably fictional TBH, I would imagine a few would have stayed in Europe after the war. I know lots of individuals and companies used, re-built and converted ex-military trucks so any goes TBH

Revell will be doing the MK1 golf Politzi and Italeri did the Range Rover in U.K. police recently. here is my build using a Tamiya Volvo built in 2014 😱

BPK do 737-1, 2 and 8 not the classics AIM only do the decals currently Welsh, perfect, they do an A320 also for a future build

So, I wanted to build a 737-300 in BMI Baby livery, and I found some decals in 1:72 on Hannants, brought them so now I need a kit! seen the 737-2 in this scale, but not a classic what’s about? Or have I purchased useless decals 😳

It will be Ok with work but thought it should be ready to go

Very nice, I had a 3 door anniversary for a while and started to build it year ago and gave up. I brought a resin body off a French company but…. I’ll be watching as I’ve 6 in the stash to build each one of my Mk3’s. love them 😍

Margee models do a nice Actros in 1:32 but it’s expensive
