Mick's Scania S770 4x2 Italeri 1/24.

Construction done, nearly all the decals on, just a couple to add plus a pair of chromed V8 badges I’ve just painted. A couple of the decals need trimming to fit but nothing majo. Should get some final pics tomorrow if the rain stops.

Looking great Mick, I'll eagerly await the finished shots.

Wow Mick, the Scania really did come out most excellently!!!. Everything looks nice and tight and square too Sir. You really have to tell us about your 'MMMM'* way of doing it...Are you going to throw some licence plates on her or are you going to drive around the neighborhood illegally???...

That book. anything on the brake lines and their placing?

That book. anything on the brake lines and their placing?

There is some info dotted about.

The book is not at all what I was expecting, but very helpful nonetheless. It's more a series of build logs with each chapter being a different vehicle start to finish, rather than a chapter on chassis, one on wheels, painting, decals etc as I thought it would be.

It means flipping back & forth to pick all the tips out for a specific procedure, but most things are covered somewhere.

Sounds like I'm better off with Google, cheers Andy

Same for me too Ian a mix of google, you tube and Scania’s brochures. The biggest difference I found was older trucks and full coloured susies whereas modern trucks are black with coloured ends

Did you find anything useful?

Did you find anything useful?

A way off needing ghe susies just yet, I'll probably go for the black wigh colour bands though.
