    Lee Drennen’s Kibri 1/87 HO DAF Truck with Cement Bulk Trailer

    Kibri is my all time favorite Model Kits in 1/87 scale. I picked out one of my personal favorites to build. I’ll be building this on my New “lap table” my wife got me for Christmas. I now can sit in my favorite chair with my feet up and relax while building my favorite Model’s.

    Looks very nice Lee. Is it completely injection moulded?

      Definitely a far better present than socks.
      Hope the kit goes together nicely.

        Thanks Andrew. It’s just a regular plastic kit. Yes that was thoughtful of her she knows how much pain I’m in and how it hurts to sit in a regular chair.

          Yes it is Jim. It’s going together ok so far. The trailer was started so I’m having to redo some stuff on it.

              That's a shame Lee. I really like the look of some of these small scale truck and plant kits...

                Yes I have lots of these old Kibri kits. Maybe some day I’ll do another one

                  That's a pity. I suppose the parts you DO have can go in the spares box for a future build.

                    Unfortunately that happens sometimes, as Jim said, spare parts for the future.
                    Strength isn't about what you can do, rather it's about overcoming what you thought you couldn't do.

                      Yes Jim. The truck is nice just going to put them away.

                        Yeah I should have caught that before I started the thread but I thought I could make it work. Yes spare parts are alway good.

                          Lee ,
                          just going ask for a seat, well if there's a lot missing just not worth carrying on . Pity as you rated the manufacturer highly, are they still in business and it the model still currently on their list ?

                            JR they are a great Manufacturer I was the one who cannibalized this kit many years ago I tried to piece it back together but it was too fiddly. Thanks for stopping by turning out the lights and closing the door. Lol.
