Texans Posted June 30, 2021 Author Share Posted June 30, 2021 Sounds good on the wheels They are just some I had lid about and the ones from the Mack looked but too big for my liking and a wrong style Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bar side Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 1 hour ago, Texans said: Hi @danbuoy that's the tanker part from a kenworth like you said about just removed from its chassis. I have removed part of the tractor unit just behind the cab. the trailer chassis was butchered to salvage the under chassis pump box and the rear crash structure with round rear lights. A box will be made with plasticard to go between cab and tank. Wheels are from a 1/76 Oxford truck model. Looks good. Technically the tanker front wheels are great cast lumps with raised spokes. This is one in civil use but I left mine as standard corgi & I think going with Oxford wheels will be a good call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texans Posted June 30, 2021 Author Share Posted June 30, 2021 I saw a picture somewhere with flatter front wheels, them standard cast ones are a lump. On another note m F-14 has arrived but seems to be missing its canopy 🤬. So many planes not enough space lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maverick231 Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 Looks great Texans! I've just found your thread after reading through the 1/48 diorama thread. Quite a fantastic array of diorama ideas going on here! I'm also doing a 1/72 diorama like you with added 1/76 stuff too but this will be a 1/72, 1/76 Airport and Museum mixed with a OO Gauge Layout to give an entrance scene to the airport. Looking forward to more updates!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
