TM Taking Shape
Something of a change of plan here with the recommended Italeri Volvo FH chassis used rather than doing the scratchbuild - it did seem to be the better option, but in hindsight, the scratchbuild could have been the more practical choice.
Engine is the Auslowe Detroit Diesel V8 resin kit and the rest is a combination of both Italeri Volvo and KFS resin parts.
The virtually completed chassis almost came a cropper when after painting, I dropped it 4ft onto a concrete surface! Fortunately, the only damage was to the nearside wing and air cleaner tank and stack, the latter being repaired after significant reconstruction surgery.
