Crisped detail, good moulding quality as usual with Miniman factory

WOW, all those tires and rims you had to clean! Wonder why they didn't cast them together as one piece. I agree with Cookiescool2, your work is always impressive and inspiring.

I built the Hobbyfan kit when it first came out. Can't wait to see how it compares.

I will be following this. I still have the HobbyFan kit from long time ago. I have an operators manual for this truck and it contains full stencils of the dashboard if you want to detail the driver's compartment.

Thx Pete; I also, have and build the HF kit
Nothing to see as the Miniman kit is far more accurate than the HF.

I received my 911 tractors and trailer also and I am looking forward to the build of all of it. Tractor and trailer will be for one article and the solo tractor for another, but I have no deadlines to race to be the first to build it and critique it. Just accept that it is better by far than the Hobbyfan kit. Gabor always offers solid kits and with his stuff it is better to take your time than race to the finish. The moulding is clean and clean up standard miniman fare. Of course super detailing with plumbing and such will be added but I won't be the caliper guy mic-ing every single part off a tech manual, I will build it and enjoy it much more so than the HF kit. My 3/4 built HF M911 is now up for sale as I will never finish it. Take your time fellas it is not worth it to spend the bread on a killer kit and race through the build and paint. But that being said I will more than likely build both tractors side by side and decide the paintjobs and theatre's of operation after wards. cheers

Looking good Pascal! I can see you fully deployed the pusher axle, are you going to load it with a MBT?
