Scott nz Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 I've started converting a aoshima kit fuso into a new Zealand style silage truck. Will put photos up throughout the build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPN Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Looking forward to this very much. I have plan for a conversion of an Aoshima Hino 8x4 later in the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott nz Posted July 14, 2018 Author Share Posted July 14, 2018 Have shortened the chassis as the overhang behind the back axle was extreme compared to what we have here. Added a tool box and hydraulic tank from farmmodelsnl. Will do a few more of my own mods and deck and silage bin will be completely scratch built Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPN Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 I plan to make it as a beavertail plant transporter. Here is the chassis with a Scania cab and a Kane lowloader body mounted. Going to go back to the Hino cab and scratchbuild the beavertail once I get my workbench reassembled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I look forward to seeing the hino cab on it. I'm about to get back into mine. Just ordered a few more parts from farmmodelsnl, tool boxes, lights etc..

Scott nz Posted February 14, 2019 Author Share Posted February 14, 2019 More work on the fuso. Wasn't happy with the wheel base so cut down the chassis. Repainted the cab. Scratch built tipping deck. Still a lot to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just got a few peices to attach under the chassis that I keep delaying then I can attach the cab and deck properly and the tool boxes etc.. I cut down a small radio aerial for the ram plus a bit of evergreen tube for the outside cylinder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
