So, I started this, basically to keep my sanity. It's an old kit, and I won it on eBay, years ago. I love the look of the truck, so let's see what I can do with it?

Martin Oostrom
Shotgun!

This isn't the "Walk in the park" kit, that I thought it was, Martin. I've tried the hot water treatment, on the cab, with no effect. So, it's a ceramic tile on the radiator, and weight on the roof. Hopefully, tomorrow will see some better results?

Nigel Chapman
My food dehydrator I use for drying painted items has a variable temp setting. Would anything like that help with the cab? I.e. a constant heat flow around the cab may soften it allowing it be reshaped.

Bozzer
I like that idea, Nigel. I unfortunately, don't own a hairdryer, but I do have a heat gun. I don't particularly want to use it. As I type now, the tile and weight method, is underway. The heating and cooling of the radiator, should assist the process, but you've definitely given me a new train of thought.
Thankyou, my friend. The collective minds of the hive, strike again 👍

Bozzer
Wow, I didn't realise how long it's been!
I've been tinkering on with this, along with many other projects, when time allows. I'll pick up on the pictures tomorrow.

Martin Oostrom
It is tomorrow already! Where are those pictures?

Bozzer
Just for you, Martin.

The saga of the cab warpage, didn't get any better. Even after 2 weeks on the radiator and a week outside in the sun, nothing happened. So I painted it and consoled myself, that once the clear parts were added, and the interior, that would stiffen things up and back in shape? Then suddenly, a cheap Peterbilt 352 kit, appeared on eBay. Three days later, it was in my hands. Cab was perfect, so black it went!

Martin Oostrom
Nice work Bozzer. That gloss black is really reflective. Happy that you managed to buy yet another kit 😂

Bozzer
Thanks mate. I'm a bit gutted about the decals, and they took an awful long time, to get anything like they should be.
My advice to anyone thinking about building this kit, is to ditch the decals and use them as templates, for airbrushing. Much quicker, more effective, and no headache.

Villiers de Vos
Off to a good start on a beautiful graceful subject.

The main difficulty with this kit is the fitting of engines.
Other big problem is the missing of rear engine ventilation : did not find any solution to correct it !
Good luck !

Alberto
Thank you for the warnings, I already had the idea to do engines completely open, now I think that is a good idea. What do you mean with rear engine ventilation?

Transall NG
There are 14 sloys on each nacelle, 7 each side, that were made on Jumo 004B to prevent the deposit of oil and fuel leaks and so to avoid fires on the ground.
Very curiously, Airfix forgot them !!!
There are no 262 perfect representation at this scale yet ! And each have their qualities ! Now i mix them...

Łukasz Gliński
True, engine nacelles are a pain in the... kit 🙂 Following too.

Transall NG
SLOTS, not sloys !!!

Alberto
Thank you for the info, probably i will go for engines totally exposed without fairings. i have to build the surface under the wing with milliput and 3d print the engine

Robert Podkoński
Watching with interest!

Transall NG
Nice solution yo an ugly problem... 🙂

Jan Peters
Pulling up a seat too 👀
I do like the airfix kit, but it is a bit simplified in some areas.
Where did you get those engines from?

John
Very very good build! Detailing and figures are awesome. The camo on the pants/blouse is really great. Must have taken a while! Cockpit looks amazing too. 👍 can't wait to see it painted.

Hallo Orlando, I go with John and Ulf. You build a beautiful nice Diorama, far from the main stream. Thank you!

A really nice result covering a very uncommon topic. Congrats!

Es-haq Khosravi

It is 1:72 scale. Thanks for the comments to all.

Very nice diorama!

Bernhard Schrock
A very unusual and rare aircraft, very well built and beautiful displayed. Thank you for sharing. 2014: I haven't been to Scalemates yet, no wonder I missed the album.

Neuling
Very appealing diorama, good layout and composition!

Guy Rump
Impressive dio! 👍

Robert Podkoński
Cool!

Thomas E.
Thank you for all comments and likes. Maybe I'll testing the dio with DAK tanks. Or a new one ...

J35J
Great work! 👍🏻

gorby
Excellent work, brilliantly inventive and creative. Great idea with the tartan.

Thomas E.
Thank you all! Very kind. I use the tartan technique also for maps, flags and so on.

Bruce Huxtable
Very nice overall, but the neatly painted tartan is the high-light for me. Can you elaborate on how you did this, please?

Guy Rump
Very nice cockpit work, following. 👍
