So I think, here will birth another (maybe dirty) beauty!

Actually going to build this one up as showroom-new, along with the companion trucks that will follow... always more of a challenge, as one can hide a lot with weathering!

István Szücs
I understand, and will wait for it!

Powertrain went together pretty easy, as expected. Next I'll start on the frame... hopefully among everything else I have going on at the moment, I can still have a rolling chassis done by the new year.

The madness has already begun!
I'm taking a chair for this one!

Following!

I'll take a seat as well. Nice job on the engine!
Where do you get all your wiring and plumbing info from? I'm trying to find some for a Fruehauf trailer, but either I'm using the wrong words or there isn't much out there.
6 January, 07:21
Bozzer
Try that Martin?
6 January, 09:41
Martin Oostrom
Thanks Boz, that might help

Brandon H
Yes, some good stuff there. For the most part, my references come from my experience working around trucks with quite a bit of googling to fill in the gaps.
6 January, 23:58
Bozzer
I try Brandon. Unfortunately, our stuff is very different from your American stuff. So I try to get as many reference pictures, as I can, when I'm stateside.

Villiers de Vos
Coming along nicely.

Brandon H
Finally getting caught up with updates - chassis assembly has been coming along mostly nicely

Excellent progress mate! Gives me fond memories of doing my Transtar Eagle 2. A very similar kit, but the plumbing is slightly different for the exhaust and air cleaner.
17 January, 18:22
Brandon H
Thanks Bozzer!

Ah yes, I always did prefer the square headlight bezels on that one... here's to hoping that kit makes a return someday as well

David Taylor
Watching.

Brandon H
Rolling chassis is now complete - the rest of the truck should be done in short order, given how nicely this kit has gone together thus far
22 January, 12:06
Bill Newcomer
Excellent! It does not have paint edge flaws anywhere. It looks as precise as a computer rendering.
23 January, 04:23
Jennifer Franklin
I can't believe how quickly you've done this kit.
23 January, 04:46
Brandon H
Thanks Jennifer and Bill.
It's a very well designed kit - all new tooling and the parts come out clean and crisp. Honestly, you just need to shake the box up a few times and a finished truck will fall out.
That's probably why the paint still looks good too - bumps and scratches tend to happen when fiddling with ill fitting parts.

Brandon H
Forward progress continues... can I have it finished in time for the show this weekend? I guess we're gonna find out
29 January, 12:03
Bozzer
Brandon, I love that dashboard, but your attention to detail is amazing!
What did it for me, was the power lead and antenna lead, disappearing into the headlining of the cab!
I can see another trophy coming! 🎯💥🏆🏆🏆
1 February, 20:10
Bill Newcomer
Very impressive. I love the finishes.
2 February, 04:04
Brandon H
Thanks guys! Final photos coming soon I hope

István Szücs
The back of the seats won't be visible?

Your work is incredible, as usual!
2 February, 16:14
Bozzer
István, unfortunately you can't see much of the inside, but we know that it's there, and done in fine style. I guess that it's possible to open up the doors, but with the timescale that Brandon has, I believe that he's already excelled himself? In fact, he just keeps getting better, the lucky bugger! 😉
2 February, 18:42
István Szücs
Bozzer, you are right!
2 February, 21:05
Brandon H
Thanks guys! No time for opening the doors up on this one...

I did manage to complete it in time for the 4M show, and was able to take home a silver medal.
5 February, 00:10
Jennifer Franklin
Congratulations on the silver medal. I'm not at all surprised.
5 February, 01:40
Michael Kohl
Congrats for the medal. I would have liked it even without one. 😜
5 February, 02:40
Bozzer
Silver? Man, that must've been tough competition, you were up against!
Congratulations on another win, my friend. Extremely well deserved!!
Lol, I bet that the paint was still drying, as you collected your medal 😉
5 February, 06:24
Neuling
Congrats! Well deserved!

Haha thanks for the kind words everyone!

Q: Re. the shiny metal bands around the two fuel tanks. What aftermarket parts are these, or, what material? Steel? Chrome painted brass? Chrome painted styrene?
3 June, 13:41
Brandon H
Hi Treehugger, those bands were part of the photoetch set I used from Czech Truck Model (all chrome plated brass)
