1/24 Atkinson Mk2 Borderer kit

[F1Fan]

Hello everyone, 

 

Although a long term member I have been lurking in the background a bit but feel as this build is extremely sentimental to me I thought I would post a build thread. 

 

I have made a good start, I can't post step by step but I will do periodic updates. 

 

I am using the lovely KFS Atkinson mk2 transkit and a Volvo donor chassis and it is my first truck build.

 

I have modified the chassis/springs etc and I have assembled the basic chassis, front and rear axles. There are still some bits to add particularly to the engine. 

 

A shout out to Ryewolf on here for a little advice he gave me. Very helpful. 

 

Next step progress the chassis then I can start adding some resin features, Battery box, cab mounts etc.

Hi @F1Fan

Glad you've finally made the first step from lurking to posting  

It's nice to have lorry in the WIP, especially one that has sentimental value as well  

I prefer the older lorries as they seem to have a charm about them, not like todays huge things

Any chance of some pictures please

Pictures as requested. And I finally figured out how to upload them. 

 

Not much progress since these were taken.
