Johny mf

are you already started the cab F-P

:o :o i think i mist this topic

damn this is great! :o

dam thats good, looks so much better with the paint on, easier to see the shapes ect

thanks sean

this was a one weekend project (exept the decals and two warning lights i must order!)

I spent about 40 hours on it now started friday evening begon saturday early in the morning till last night 3 o clock!

And started today again about 10 o clock till now!

My girlfriend asked me if i went insane!!!! [

Just take the rear fenders out off the shed

The paint need to hard out so i don't dare to push the bonnet and the cab good on the chassis!So everything is standing lose on the chassis!

I was qurius how it looked!

Now i need to paint the black pieces of the rear fender and i removed the steering pin of the cab!

The hole in the cab roof is now filled whit plastic puty

Hope the model is now better than the most guy's expected and the proportions are much better now  

Thanks F-P

so what do you think of it guy's

the rear fenders are drying in the shed

so i paced up only the bonnet and the cab on the chassis

Here are the pics

looking forwards to seeing this completed

:o i think the same great work mate

It crossed my mind to make a magnum because there is one driving around at my area!

Think this one is going to be stunning!

Got one qeustion what kind of model do you use for youre chassis

That's looking better Johnny. 

deff looks better second time round mate, like the look of the bonnet to mate,

Thanks guy's but you must see it tonight because i painted the bonnet !

My mother in law say's that the paintwork even looks better than the siku Bonnet!

Shall look to put the pics on as soon as posible!

here are some pics must do it now because some one else need the computer

Thank you guy's (also for the critisism)

The thing is this my friends i did a lot of work on the model and i always thougd the MF8280 from siku where to smal from siku!

If you look on the forum latest conversions Jan Jaap Bol had made the same kind of model on this chassis only his one is a 6490 or something!

What did i do last night on the model: cut something of the chassis that the bonnet is standing much lower on the chassis!

The proportions are now much better!

I take a look of posting some pics tonight because now i am working on the rear fenders that the have a the extentions on the sides!

My regards Johny MF

i think i have also pics of this company

I think the have a 1200 to or something like that

looks a bit big but they are like that well done

well the thing is this mate

I had to make the bonnet a litle bit higher than the one from the 8280 because the cab of the 5455 has the horizental pin a litlebit higher!

I am going to try to cut something off from the chassis that the bonnet lowers a litle bit!

its looking good

i agree whit this

this is how it looks like when it is on the chassis (including cab and rear fenders!)

Yesterday i begon a new project

The model is based on the MF8280 from siku Cab and rear fenders are from the MF5455 from siku the bonnet is under construction but this is how far i came!

Must polish the bonet because now it is standing in plasticpudy!

here are some pics of the bonnet.

Thats interesting Johnny... is it out now... or coming soon 

coming soon!

These are the presentation pics of MF

nice pics mate

Here a photo of the new 5480 whit the new bonnet!

Only the 6cilinder models get this bonnet!

sorry for the small photo

thanks for the encouraging replies people, am currently in the process of fitting cab glass

do you also going to make mirors on the model and a warninglight!

:o what a great convo marcus!

I love it

Ive got one in mind for the future but don't know wen i am going to begin!

I already got the bonnet and will make the cab and rear fenders myself just like my 690 but first want to make other MF's!

Don't like to make two same kind cabs and rearfender in short time!

But i realy love this convo!!

Looking good mate Time is everything!

Counties are easier ...I've also run out of plastic card so i can't make the rear mudguards, but I have been thinking about it, and now have some Nissan 526 Red

well if you need any help just ask me and i wil give you some tips
