HEMTT M1075 PLS w/M5
« on: Sat Nov, 05, 2011, 05:49:PM »
Hello guys after looking over all my wheeled model kits. I thought that building something a bit different that should be posted on (SMA).
It's a Heavy HEMTT M1075 PLS w/M5 Concrete Mobile Mixer.

 
Now I will use a Italeri M977 kit for the conversion.

 


Now I have a lot of scratchbuilding to do.

Should be a fun build, are you gonna make it from sheet styrene and other bits?

Thanks guys for looking in. Now I must point out that I have a lot of detail to add as well as build large parts. So first I started on the rear three axels. Here I added detail to the leaf-spring hanges and top plate.




Next the axel tension tub and axel torque bar mounts.

Yet here's a bit more work on the first of the three rear axels.








I have yet to start the detail on the rear section.
