"OLD. BUT RUNS!" - Scania LB 141 Tractor

Recommended Posts

It’s been mix feelings with this Heller kit. But seeing that it was a very old kit and compromises were taken into account, I now learn my way around such discrepancies in this kit. All-in-all, it was an ‘OK’ build, despite my frustrations. Barlas Pehlivan, was also kind to help answer some of my annoying questions, concerning this kit. So kudos to him. My apologies for the pics. I will take better ones later. It was very windy outside today and I could not get the right photos I wanted. Oh well, you can’t win every time.  Hope you enjoy the photos regardless.

I also added some wip photos o the interior, as it was difficult to get good shots of the interior after the roof and doors were install.

That weathering is absolutely beautiful!

Superb outcome for a difficult old kit!

Thank you. It was certainly most challenging. I mean, who chromed seats? Hahaha! There was so much chrome, I almost gave up.

Absolutely incredible outcome. You have really made some pieces of styrene look like weathered metal!

Thank you kindly. Glad you approve.

Once again, tiking, a fabulous result.

Both inside and outside it's so impressive.

The pictures look good enough to me.

I appreciate your feedback.

Another cracking build Charles. The weathering is superb, but if the police stop it and see that tyre, the smelly stuff will hit the whirly thing. Those V8's were noisy so and so's.

 

John.

Hahaha! Then the driver would a have a very big problem, John. HiHi!

My brother built this kit years ago as a kid  but not to this standard !  The photos are spot on to me . Well done . 

My brother drives a Volvo FH 16 now . 

Thank you. The FH16 are great. Great pulling power. I assume, it is an automatic?

Fantastic result. You can almost smell the diesel, farts, and old cigarette smoke in the cab.

Thank you kindly. Farts!!! Oh my! I hope not. Hahaha!
