Das Wettringer Modellbauforum

Hello all

i am using a translation website to write this in German...i hope it is correct??

if it is not right i will carry on writing in English


Die Modellbauunternehmer von gutem Tag,

Hier baue ich eine USA Version von den Scania 113M 340

Ich benutze der Italeri Topline 143R und die Aufhängung vom Revell DAF 2800, der zum Revell Kasten Anhänger verkoppelt wird







Ich werde die V8 Maschine mit einem 6cyl von JCL ersetzen

Ich habe der Front Detail der Maschine von einer Ersatzteil Volvo Maschine hinzugefügt

Ich habe das Chassis als pro die Anweisungen mit dem Satz verkürzt

Ich habe auch die scania Aufzug Achse mit dem DAF doppelten Antrieb ersetzt











Ich habe die Batterien hinter dem cabine bewegt, für die längeren Dieseltanks zu erlauben

Ich habe einen Abgasuntersatz, Maschineuntersätze, Luft/elektrische Verbinder und Handschiene hergestellt

Ich habe das ursprüngliche 5. Rad mit einem Schieben einer von einem USA Italeri Satz ersetzt











Ich habe einen Abgasuntersatz, Maschineuntersätze, Luft/elektrische Verbinder und Handschiene hergestellt







Bitte genießen Sie

Wenn die Übersetzung zu Deutsch nicht bitte arbeitet, informieren Sie, dass mich und ich auf Englisch schreiben werde

thank you for the nice words guys


i will not use the translation site any more,i will carry on in English

it has been a long time since have worked on this so time for an update


i had to cut off the gearbox and turn it a little as it was not in line with the engine before i could mount it in the chassis













you can see the engine mounting brackets in this pic(the white parts inside the chassis rails)...
not accurate,but they work






i made up the exhaust & battery box mounts and also the airline bracket/grab rail...

the battery box cover is made from two Italeri trailer mud guards cut up and glued together(i thought it looked like the original??)















i also added flitch plates for the 5th wheel plate...



















i removed parts 1a & 1b (backing for the headlights) in the following pic' from the bumper and glued parts 2a & 2b (headlight surrounds) to them...











i will re-mount them to the cab panel,like the real truck...







i will had to build the cab before i did any more fabrication on the chassis (fuel tank mounts/air cleaner bracket) as i needed the cab sitting correct & square before i can mount them...



i hope you like the pictures??



another update soon

a bit more done...the paint problem is now all fixed

decided to add some detail to the inner guards in the form of spray suppression material,

it is a rubber tourniquet that i cut up,sprayed matt black and stuck to the guard with double sided tape,







made up the pipe work for the exhaust & air inlet side of the turbo from various bits of pipe(resin & plastic heated & bent to shape)











whilst fitting the exhaust to the stack i broke the battery box off which was a blessing in disguise as it gave me more room to get the rest of the pipe work mounted

also,once the pipe from the air filter was fitted the uprights on the battery box were too short so i had to rebuild it anyway

took the opportunity to add some detail in the form of the wiring from the batteries,



added some Auslowe cb/uhf radio aerials to the mirror arms and added wiring from 15amp fuse wire



the original gear shift lever/support & linkage didn't fit so i had to make up a new one from plasticard & brass rod









you can see how the new plasticard plate fills the hole in the cab floor better now in this pic



and here are some pic's with the interior in place...(the driver is an Englishman living and working in the US )









i hope you like
