Hello comrades
I begin building of Trumps SA-2. I will also use the Big Ed and Voyager sets. I want to make a model which will be very compatible with the original, so I collected a lot of pictures, books and drawings.
I started building the engine, and I added a belts and one wire.




Greetings, Lucas

Great start Lucas, that engine looks very nice. Are the belts made from plasticard?

No, from teflon tape.

Hi!
Next small update. I added some wires and started building of suspension.






Greetings, Lucas

Very good start to a hard to build model!

Hi!
Small report from "battlefield"



Greetings, Lucas

I definitely going to follow this topic. I do have the same model. So hopefully I will see a lot of improvements.
So far, a nice start!

Hi Guys!
Thanks for looking. I build pneumatic and brake installations, and I painted cabin interior.













Greetings, Lucas

excellent work

Sosek, link for you: http://cid-ee536f896a8bd757.photos.live.com/browse.aspx/9T227

Nice build, your super detailing is going to make me want to build one

Hi, thanks for comments.
Juhasz, thank you for link, these photos are very helpful.
Jeremy, build it, I'll be very glad to see your SA-2

Cheers, Lucas

I am happy to see that i am not the only insane guy around big A.
Outstanding work with the tubing and detailing of the engine.

Hi!
Next step of building my ZiL-157. Today I made some PE's, and built plate with fifth wheel.









Greetings, Lucas

Looking good so far Lucas. Good work on all the wiring.
Has anybody released aftermarket wheels for this yet?

Thanks Frank, resin wheels for this set are produced by Hussar, but I'm not sure.

EDIT: I found! Thats review of resin wheels from Hussar

Great looking build so far Lucas! I can't wait to hear it start up and drive off when you're done!

I just picked this kit up not too long and although I won't be throwing quite that much detail into mine, I will definitely keep an eye on this one.

Keep up the good work!

Clint

Well Lukasz, I'm glad you're showing some restraint on this build so far!

I have this kit, and another Chinese 157 as well and they are beautiful models with a lot of potential, and you've certainly done justice to this one so far.

very nice! your attention to details is amazing

Hi!
My ZiL is now ready for Surfacer and painting

Hi!
My ZiL is painted now. I used Gunze H313 as base, next I painted green camouflage using mixed H420 and H304. Thats effect:

PS. This is my cat, she likes models

Thanks very much for the link Łukasz ... much appreciated. Im not a fan of vinyl wheels or tracks. Watching your build has made me interested in this truck. Tim Sloan made a great version a few years ago as well. You never know ... I could be building this myself in the future!!
