  1. for 1:50 http://modeltruckworld.co.uk/ for 1:24 and 1:50 http://forum.truckmodelworld.com/default.aspx?g=forum and http://www.24thscalemodeltruckforum.co.uk/index.php despite the name it caters for 1:50, 1:32, 1:24 but the thing is 99.9% of model lories are in 1:24 or 1:50 and its really only the lads wanting some for farms that tend to be into the 1:32 though I think years ago Esci or someone produced a 1:32 plastic volvo kit with a skelly and container but its an 80's model (I'm too young )
  2. I get mine here: http://www.kitformservices.com/supplies.html - scroll down to the bottom and you'll see it. Yeah its a masterclass in modelling - if i could do half that i'd be happy!
  3. Not sure - but it would certainly be the first thing i would go for to try.
  4. Amazing work - a true masterclass! Regarding the solartex it is great stuff - I and others would use it for curtainsiders or tipper covers etc on 1:24 lorries etc. I don't know if it helps any but for the likes of a curtainsider even if the solartex isn't painted its always advised to get a drop of satin clear by the likes of humbrol etc to spray on. It gets rid of the gloss finish but doesn't leave it matt - just the way a real curtain would be. I don't know if thats of any use to you or not. I just love this combine
  5. Have you painted all the bits by brush? If so what type of brush do you use - it looks a very smooth finish! It has improved the look of the model so much!
  6. Magirus Deutz became Iveco. There was a cab shared between volvo, daf, renault and the maggie. It does look a bit like the bedford tl but the side windows are wrong. My guess is it is either an old ford or iveco style.
  7. Personally im not a fan of bullbars but they should sit lower (closer to the road) imo. Also, well you know about the lights and i still believe they don't look wuite right due to the difference in scale. But its a nice model and at the end of the day if its the way you like it then thats all that matters Would be better if it had some blue tractors on the back but sure you cant have everything! Going to have to get back into working on my lorries. I've the dreaded modellers block where i just can't get going!
  8. Looking real nice Peter! Are you going to stretch the chassis a bit?
  9. Is it just me but does the bonnet on the model not look too long compared to the real thing?
  10. The light bar you have is made for the grille and would be reversed (upside down on yours). Ive never liked bull bars but amazingly for the huge difference in scale this one actually looks in scale - did you change it mate? Think i'd agree and remove the light bar but the rest looks SUPERB
  11. You could do with a lift to get into that New Holland
  12. Hey mate! Just replied to you on the other forum - good to see some of us on both The chassis colours remind me of Kerbey Motors: http://www4.picturepush.com/photo/a/3172347/img/Kerbey-Motors./km004.png
  13. UH will no doubt have theirs out soon and it will be a lot more accurate But then wheres the challenge in that Have to respray the nose as whilst the paint was wet it fell...outside...onto the dirt :'( so i'll have to rub it down and go again
