MODEL TRUCKS

good build for your first one mate, takes me around 4/6 months to build one due to me being away a lot dare say we will be seeing a daf ssc wagon and drag before long mate…lol…pete

Heres the final pics



The finished article

As you can see I had a bit of trouble with the decals, and you can just about make out the glue that I got on the windscreen, but im chuffed with it for a first attempt :smiley:

I always think that the glue fingerprint on the screen is like the artist signing his work. Good job Bugcos don’t show Iveco though as it’s better built than anything they have made

hi bugcos

great model for first attempt mate, i’ve been a model builder myself for 30+ years, if you need any advice on future models give me a shout, i’ll help if i can.

cheers
gaz

Thats the first model I did too bugcos, hand painted it with a brush after I’d built it. Never again I tell you :open_mouth:
Spraying with cans from Halfords, then building is so much better. You should see the side windows on mine though, almost opaque with glue :blush:

wirralpete:
model of my current truck

got any more pictures?..pete

Did you buy the kit like that Pete or have you modified it yourself, and put the little wheels on it?

Nice job Bugcos you soon rattled through that .
Just hope the model is a bit better build quality than the real thing mate otherwise youll get up Saturday morning and half the bits will have fallen off :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

Is the truckmodelworld forum not working for anyone else?

I just tried to log in and it’s not working so i’m on here instead. Its been like that before at this time of the day, maybe they do maintenance on it at this time.

Paul, is that an Itlaleri kit? How do you get them so good? And how do you get them in RHD form, Do you make the curtains and stuff yourself?

And where do you get the light bars from?
