JeroenS Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 Hi all, haven't posted here in a while, been busy with Vietnam GB and Heller Classic GB. Just today I finished my Heller build which is the original boxing of the Scania LB 141. I just love the boxy look of this little truck and it was great fun building it. The box: Sprues of this early boxing moulded in lovely red and even lovelier yellow And, because I got this kit used, and apparently previous owner wasn't too concerned about storing it properly, a nice little challenge too I bought KFS rims and hubs and also an etch set with badges and lights from CTM. I used the wheels but skipped the etch, I'll use that for the next time I'm building this very nice vehicle. No question about that, I'm doing another one, I like it so much. When scouring the web for reference pics I came across a halfhearted attempt at restoration and I liked the idea very much. Now you can see why I didn't need the badges 🙂 ... I loved the idea of the red primer so this became my goal! Here's the build thread: It's built almost completely OOB except for the wheels, some plumbing and wiring and the suzy rack which is not supplied in the kit. Some more pics here. Thanks for watching! 25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spiny Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 Looks rough (in a good way) - you've certainly got the hand of this weathering lark. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryedale Wolf Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Very nice that, good job! These are very easy to convert to RHD. Because the dash is 3 separate sections you can cut it up and re-assemble it in reverse. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
