jsedelweiss Posted February 14, 2009 Author Share Posted February 14, 2009 I'm not very good at scratch builds so i tried to make a brass loader but couldn't get the two brass sections to solder strong enough but to stay without a huge bit of solder on each side. ??? I had alook at the topic jdc had started with doing a loader for the uh 135 1:16. I eventually had a talk with him and he said that he would make me a kit that i would have to assamble. inc rams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsedelweiss Posted February 14, 2009 Author Share Posted February 14, 2009 I recived a few days ago the kit, but started to make it today. It's prity simple two sides and then just some thin sheet inbetween the two sides. Just now got to put the other beems on to join the other side and we will be away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsedelweiss Posted February 14, 2009 Author Share Posted February 14, 2009 I took the orinagal hitch off and took the iner bit of the siku hitch out and it looks ok, with a few minor ajustments it could be alright or i could just cut the back axle up and fit it in with the bracket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
