Volvo Viking L485 from 1960

[modelbyggeren]

Hello everyone.

 

I would like to share my new project with you. It's my sixth 1/8 scale truck that is currently under construction.

Just like the previous models I have built, it's not a self-chosen project, but an ordered model of an existing 1/1 model.

The model is a Volvo Viking L485 from 1960 with a Danish-built cab.

It is completely scratch built in metal.

I started it in November 2017, being halfway through the project and expecting to deliver it around May this year.

WOW! What a challenge!

What kind of metal did you use? I saw some solder lignes on the body and the metal is white...

Thanks for sharing!
