Thx for the welcome 🙂 This collection was from some1 who passed away 3 yrs ago..bought it for a real nice price. Now have enough to keep me busy for a few yrs 😛 And not sure if I will build them all. some are real collector items and most boxes still sealed.

Unseal and get building. Nice collection and a great quality build too.

You'll find that a lot of the accessory parts will fit other trucks in scale without much modification. For instance i've been able to fit an italieri scania wrecker back on a revell peterbilt base with virtually no modification. Those revell K100s are sweet kits, as is the alaska hauler

There are always some volunteers to be found, to help you move some of those boxes to their house 😉

lol dat denk ik ook wel Martin 😛 heb van de week een houten rek besteld voor alle dozen. staat nu allemaal op de grond in mn hobbykamer 🙂 kwam er net achter dat mijn huishoudster de AMT Budweiser Peterbilt 352 truck onder de kachel had geschoven en de cabine is nu zo gesmolten dat ik er niets meer mee kan 🙁 chassis ziet er nog wel goed uit...was al aardig eind met bouwen ervan...

Gesmolten cabine? Dat is echt jammer.... misschien voor ongeluck diorama?😉

tsja dak van cabine is niet meer bruikbaar, maar idd misschien is dat dan nog een idee zo'n diorama. baal wel behoorlijk.

But seriously, check out Tamiya's Extra Thin Cement. This kind of glue makes less mess, and is supposed to be applied on the OUTSIDE of the seams, not inside as with regular messy old tube glue. The excess liquid glue will mostly evaporate, but don't get any spill on clear parts. This liquid glue may also run around your thumb leaving a fingerprint, if you add liquid glue anywhere near your thumb while holding the model with your thumb.
Tamiya also has a lemon scented version of the Extra Thin Cement.

Nice work area, oh for the days when I had a space to put a shelf for my stash. We'll get that table loaded up with paint bottles before you know it. If you're shopping for paint, I recommend Vallejo Model air & Game Air for all Matt colours, even for brushing. the Game air has some nice bright colours, ideal for a matt base and a clear varnish over decals.

Yup. If you value your brain cells, get rid of the enamels, but preferably get some forced ventilation in there (suctioning is the best).
The revell glue is good for bit bits. For finer parts we recommend Tamiya extra thin cement.
And you might want to get a good sprue cutter. It cuts the parts better from the sprue, less distortion and less cleaning work with files and sandpaper.

Today's mission, replace windscreen of the Tamiya 1:14 Scania cabine....have to take most of the cabine apart to get to the screws....and then I need to get a ton of wires back in lol
4 November 2019, 11:39

That Scania RC looks awesome! Can't wait to see it all finished, all those wires.. dang.

Bought this kit of a Imai Ford CL9000 Super Truck and arrived today, but can't find it in the database here.
Or am I looking at the wrong references?
9 November 2019, 16:11
![](/profiles/img/58360-651-s.jpg)
Added the Ford CL9000 kit in database, only downside of this kit that manual is in chinese only lol
Not sure if I will place a motor in it, but will install the lights that came with it 🙂

In the summer I go outside with my rc's...In winter I stay in my hobbyroom to build kits 😄
20 November 2019, 11:04
![](/profiles/img/58360-651-s.jpg)
Yeah, really love the king hauler. maybe next year will buy 1 but think that I won't use a sound kit like in the Scania and a simple light kit 🙂

If you can scan the instruction into the computer, there are sites that do jpg > text ( translate.yandex.com/ocr ). Saved my bacon alot. Also some translate photo apps can do live translations while you look at the page through the camera.
20 November 2019, 11:31
![](/profiles/img/58360-651-s.jpg)
Even for chinese characters? 😛 Tried 1 app but even the app didn't translate it to normal text lol
Will try that jpg to text. thx for tip 🙂

That yandex site does multiple languages, and the Google Translate is a live translator on phone screen, butg pics can be used too... The result are kind of wonky, but they make enough sense to get the job done.

Got a kit ERTL International F-4270 for € 20,- (photo 13 on the right) and got some free extra parts, decals with it. Had the kit International Transtar F-2671, but the decalsheet and manual that I got as free extra was lookin better. not sure what to do with the extra cabines. think will put them on a flatbed trailer as cargo 🙂

Awesome! You got the beast mode Scania! 😄 That kit looks very cool! What did you end up paying for it, if you don't mind me asking? (PM me if you want.) I thought this kit was hilariously expensive.
23 December 2019, 17:16
![](/profiles/img/58360-651-s.jpg)
It's such an awesome kit and yes they cost a few bucks 😛 Have a complete sealed mint box for € 300,- (around $333,-) normal price is around € 350,- in EU

I see why it's so pricey, the extra axles must be a resin conversion, plus the photo etch. Single axle kit retails at £45, I feel lucky the Revell heavy haulers are just an extra forward axle of the pair and an extra mid shaft, quite simple to do a conversion with standard kit parts, either a donor kit, or make a second resin set.

Thx but already found the kit page Chaz 🙂 I wonder what the CNC milled parts are, would that be the rims? And not sure when I will build this 1 and in what version...the white FTG truck or the yellow with grey lines show truck..Alot of collectors will shoot me if I mess this masterpiece up with a bad paintjob 😛 To scared to start with some of my rare trucks that are expensive or hard to find now 😄

You've done a pretty good job so far. I see your dilema, I prefer to steer away from the white as it's a fairly common colour for trucks, but on the other hand, it has the cooler graphics. Perhaps flex those research skills you have, I reckon the graphics would look good over other colours too.
24 December 2019, 06:16
![](/profiles/img/42364-941-s.jpg)
I like the simplicity and elegance of the yellow and black show truck. Although the FTG decals look much more like beast mode, heavy duty.
24 December 2019, 13:17
![](/profiles/img/28909-839-s.png)
Danny, this is a working truck. Built for heavy haulin'. Don't wast your €€€ on a show truck!
25 December 2019, 16:07
![](/profiles/img/42364-941-s.jpg)
Martin has a point. He wins. For that kind of $$$ you really should build the badass haulin' truck.
25 December 2019, 17:55
![](/profiles/img/58360-651-s.jpg)
Made up my mind and gonna make the FTG truck, not sure if it will get a trailer behind it 🙂

I agree with Martin... That big 44 ton would be an epic pair.
27 December 2019, 17:45
![](/profiles/img/58360-651-s.jpg)
It's a very nice 1 I agree, but it is no more for sale and finding these KFS trailers for sale is not easy...the Nooteboom trailer I found on FB costs € 400,- lol that's 100 more then the truck 😄 So maybe a trailer from my current stash (like the heavy gravel trailer?) or will see what I can find over time 🙂
27 December 2019, 18:02
![](/profiles/img/58360-651-s.jpg)
Can also use my Heavy duty trailer and place some heavy equipment on the back or another truck....so much options lol 🙂 The truck racing trailer also possible to use with a truck on the back...

Swap that truck with the heavy haulage Scania and you have a perfect marriage of truck,trailer, and cargo.

Might go well with this truck. Not sure what postage would be. But £60 buy it now price

![](/profiles/img/58360-651-s.jpg)
@Chris, it's a picture of an Heavy duty trailer from internet, but like you said it would be a nice combo with that cargo (not sure if that's a kit or die-cast) and the Heavy haulage Scania 🙂
@Chaz Already have that 1 in my stash😄 Bought mine for € 35,- Have a few nice trailers that I could use and that's my problem 😛 Don't know what I should put behind the Scania

This is the one from your stash, The only question would be... would a 1:24 truck and 1:25 trailer look like crap?
Heavy Duty Trailer (Revell 07533, 1:25)

The difference between scales is 1/8 of an inch in scale per 8 Feet full size, ie the width of the 1/25 trailer would be under by about 1/8 inch, and the length of a 40' trailer would be short by 5/8 inch, or about 16mm. On the height, no-one would ever notice.
The variance between manufacturers is more like to be noticable than that between the two scales. I have a 1/24 58 Chevy pickup truck in Die cast, and a 1/25 57 Chevy truck in plastic. The cabs for those two years of truck are identical, the changes were front end treatments. But the two scale cabs are noticably different at about 1/4 inch in the width, more than twice the scale variance, and the height is quite a bit off too. A shame as I was planning to cast a 58 Front end for the 57 truck kit.

I was also wondering how much of a difference it would be, but now you gave some explenation about it, think it will be ok to use a 1:25 trailer behind a 1:24 truck 🙂 thx for that Chaz 👍
