smish Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 hey guys, just gonna post up some pics of a major challenger tanker. dont know if you guys are familiar with this model,it has a front lift axle, stays down for stability and to distribute weight, and lifts when turning or when extra weight is needed on the tractor for traction. still have to finish of the edges of the mud guards, add lights and hoses,and do a general tidy up!! ANY ONE ABLE TO MAKE ME DECALS FOR THS MODEL?? i tried in vain this evening with some water slide paper but my printer is not up to the job, its not able to bring out the yellow backround in the decal. let me know what you guys think, any questions, fire away.......... first up. how it all began, a joskin chassis, just in the liddle of folding the mudguards and trying many times to get them right. second pic, how it looks at the moment.
