Heavy duty

Bozzer
You should be able to find most of the extra parts you need, from Auslowe. But them rear wheels on the trailer, are more like car wheels. The ones on the lowboy, are standard. Perhaps a closer match for the trailer, would be the Revell Heavy Duty Trailer? The wheels and tyres, are definitely smaller than the lowboy.

That will be a big project. Look forward to see you going.

I figure I'll be getting some extra bits from CTM. This picture was the only one I could find online of a K100 with a lowbed trailer.
I think the truck and trailer will be more conventional than the Aussie version, as I don't feel the need to do a WHD conversion

BTW, I made a swap of rims between my AMT lowboy and my not yet started Doubles trailers. The rim diameters were the same but the lowboy tires are shorter.

Martin Oostrom
Big let down. I checked the parts for the first time and the window frame is broken on the right side, gone in the middle and the whole cab is a bit warped 😢

Bozzer
That's common on the k100 cab. However, I personally wouldn't worry. I know a man 😉 who is going to be casting some, very soon 😉 Personally, I'd do it as a side build, and wait for the cab bodies.

Martin Oostrom
So now I know a guy who knows a man! Patience will be my middlename
First to finish some other projects and to partake in yet another groupbuild

Bozzer
No worries mate. I'll give you a heads up when things happen. But definitely don't throw away that cab body. That's a diorama waiting to happen!

Martin Oostrom
So now I have a Revell Heavy Hauler on order. That leaves the Aerodyne for something else.

Bozzer
Very exciting news, indeed 🙂 🙂 🙂

I just got home yesterday from a 3 day trip in a k 108

Bozzer
JV, is that an Australian variant?

Jv
Yes I would say so
Kenworth is made in Australia
So is freightliner
And volvo

Bob Hall
Your gonna need to put another wing on your house when this is done. I'd imagine this beauty would take up some valuable real estate.🤘😎🤘

Jv
Freightliner is a bit of a funny one
I took a Freightliner to inspection
It was made by Chrysler/ benz corporation
Registered as a mercedes model freightliner

Jv
The company I work for does heavy lowloader work
To mine sites
The truck in the picture looks like a few trucks we use
Now mostly k 200

Peter Hardy
Jv, who do you work for?

Peter Hardy
Martin, will you be doing a right hand drive conversion and reproducing those beautiful polished aluminium fuel tanks like in the pic?

Martin Oostrom
Considering my last rhd truck is taking me a couple of years: NO!
I definitely will be getting some goodies from ctm.

Treehugger
Hm, is there such a scale model kit as that big vehicle on the trailer there?

Hasegawa has some 1:35 models of smaller tractors, but they aren't that large, and sadly I don't find any cool models of modern and larger digging vehicles.

Bozzer
@ Tree hugger. Best we have, in plastic kit form, is the AMT heavy loader.

Martin Oostrom
Luckily the low loader comes with its own dozer

Jv
Sure a cool project

Bozzer
I'm not even going to mention about the PE for that dozer, but I wish it was available, from CTM, when I did mine! It looks soooo tasty, that I might have to do another 🙂

Peter Hardy
Bozzer never mind he yellow thing look at the K220
