Pavel; Thanks for the great in progress pictures, I'm going to start mine today and these will really help.

Pavel- thats a great pic w/ the M1114 showing the size of this monster !!! Now if I can talk the spouse into a late Christmas gift....

Thanks guys!
Dave: Good luck! The kit is straight forward - just be careful with instructions - there is so many parts, you easily forgot or swap some...
Jeff: Isn´t it??!! Yeah!! Really looking forward to show them both together...

Today without pics - the last axle almost in place (only assembly after some drying time will be done) - to be continued next year!

Happy New Year to you all!

Todays evening progress - hope you like it

Very good work, but I am afraid you will be done before my kit arrives at my locaal Hobby shop.

Well... I hope to have it finished soon! But wish you fast delivery to your LHS...

Dammit !

That's a very nice progress Pavel !

Very good job so far.

Centipede!


the brakes wiring is done:


I´ve not glued the turntable as the instruction said to make it movable a little:


Detail of front steering rod:


Pls, guys - can somebody help me with the pics of the air suspension tubing? None of wa´s I´ve found show it clearly...

Would this help ?


I guess it's the tubing you can see on the inner side of the chassis frame on the left, and you can also discern it on the right as well...

I've just found out that the picture in my last post (with the Silver State Specialties watermark ) has been in fact taken from Joe Wallace's Webshots album. So let's give back to Joe the pics that are Joe's :

I gues I´ll have to update my thread as thing are moving forward asap

Recently I repaired the position of fuel tanks as Mila suggests - thanks for tip!




The ladders are being upgraded as I like to see thru them


Mudguards are not fixed yet - I´ll position them later in accordance to the cabin etc:

Works on cabin! First I prepared the dashboard - even the wiring under it - both doors will be open, so it was neccessary. Decals works perfect with Gunze liquids...:



The seat harness have to be added, the rear seat will be full of equipment, so there are no locks neccessary - I made only one:


The sidewall harness:

...will be visible hardly:


This is approx layout (very simplified) of how cabin seats will be covered (will be even much more... )

Can you suggest some modern aftermarket equipment for me? I am not familiarized with much sets...

So before I can FILL the cabin, I finnished the wheels and started to work on jacks:


I almost forgot to show one of last equipments in cabin - oxygen filters...:


And here is the beast!


Thanks for looking!

looks very good

Superb works. Here is MOLLE Bags.
