thanks Jim - I am following one of this manuals - I have a plenty of them

But anyway - what you meant by "there were hydraulics also" - you mean some additional tubing?

Let me look at tech manual, I know the British version had a Pony motor for hydraulics on the trailer, let me look at the trailer manual and i will get back.

There is a lot of manuals on the web, I have to find the right one, I thought I had this in my notes, I will have to go through 8 note books of referance materisl, Darn now I want to start mine. I am right at the end of finishing a 7 foot long radio control submarine. I may take a brake and clean my desk and break the kit out. If I find the piping detail I will send it to you.

Thanks a lot Jim! PM sent...

There was some time from my last update, so there it is - I am working hard on the trailer. Continued on the suspension - especially the pistons of high adjusting actuators (dampers). I wanted the chrome look, so I started to searching for proper aluminium tubes to replace original plastic ones:

The trailer goes together nicely, but the number of all the parts is just enormous...

Wiring started:



Than the drum brakes...



Finally the wiring finished:


All together:

Today´s progress - glue two pairs to trailer to obtain the stability and desired wheel steer angle.



Than I paint the bottom of trailer - I believe the suspension is in black matt colour...


Later today I´ll want to connect the pipes and continue with connection of the rest of arms...

Thanks for looking!

Incredible work! Keep it up! That's fantastic!

Pavel, nice work dude. I just picked up this kit and I'm glad to see you guys here are already busy with this subject. It give me a little advantage because I can learn from your work thanks for sharing and keep it coming.

Mike

Thanks for your support guys

There is another progres:
- undercarriage done:


- wheels painted in different colors:


- whole beast:

Some new progress before painting...:

Looking good Pavel! I see you added a cable to the rear left and right sides? at the mudflaps. what reference did you use for that? I missed that and should add it as well.

good luck with the rest!

Thanks Boris! Too bad you missed that - that feed cable is on every pic I have, even HB did a small hole for it in that PE...

Well the first step - rest of paterns will be added later - am exhausted

Very hard work. Nice.

Online news No.3

Camouflage done, next will be weathering and completation

Suh-weet!

Glad you like it!

Here is next progress - clear coat, decals, wheels test fit - to ensure, that keeping the geometry on this model is PIA... But I have all suspensions working (dampers), so it is not a big deal, it will be adjusted when the base is ready

Here are the promissed pics:

Together with mama It is really not easy to take a picture of it

Loaded with M1070 looks great too


One detail made today - gooseneck - two spares + spare winch...

Outstanding, Pavel!

You and Miloslav have really outdone yourselves.

Thanks Joseph!

Looking REALLY cool Pavel! cant wait till the moment I get a that stage of the project.
I will add the wire on the rear of the trailer, should not be a problem at this moment.

You should build another M1070 and put it on the M1000
that would be an insane combination

Absolutely agree - I am starting to build another CPK version in one or two weeks - at least few pics together are in plans, but permanent load will be Mig´s wheel loader
