Hallo everyone,

I am building the trumpeter Faun SLT56 tanktransporter, and i would like to put a lot of detail on it.
Now my question is if somebody can help with some technical drawing of the hydraulic system.

Thanks in advance.

I only have some photos of the SLT56, and I know there is a archive of FAUN solded in Germany.

Try this link and see what you can come up with. I just poked around a bit but it might have what you need. Cheers.

If anyone finds something better or an actual set of blueprints, please post them or at least the link here, as I have two SLT-56's sitting and waiting to be built. Cheers.

Hi all,

here in Germany, we have two sources for such materials:
First, the Manufacturer and
Second, the Technischen Dienstvorschriften TDv (Technical Manuals)
Since FAUN company has changed owners several times, I am not sure if such materials are still available.
The TDv`s are usually classified VSNfD, means for servicemen only.
Unfortunatly, the Bundeswehr rather destroys the TDv than giving it to the public.
But I have a walkaround, consisting of about 120 pictures in my analog archive.
I can scan the specific pics and send it by e-mail.

Harald;
Any chance that you could translate that page and repost it? That looks like a very comprehensive build log and would be gold for some of us that have that sitting in the to do pile. Cheers.

Here you can find pics of the build it is on a belgium modeling forum.
It is a duobuild with a friend of me,we build 2 fauns, one will be painted and the other one will be a naked model, thats the idea.

Damon,

I don't have the dictionaries necessary for such a translation with all the idioms used.
Sorry!

No worries, my German is a bit rusty but thanks to Google translation I am making some headway and will post the translation when I get it finished. Cheers.
