After dropping my shell tanker I was deciding wot to do with it then I struck on this idea and out of an idea was born this rigid shell tanker. The cab as yet has no interior that's why it sits at an angle and looks funny. Nuts to U to (hehehe narf) Dingo

No mate, coz in the back of the tanker there is a double door cupboard arrangement it doesn't open though and in there would be a hose roll etc. , if I could get those doors open I'd detail that area but I think they're glued rather well, I'll give it a try the next time I work on the rig. Not today though 37 degree heat again and can't get in the room although I could go in now and do it but I'm on this laptop doing stuff while it's cool (well sort of 24 degrees). Dingo

Well I've finally able to do some work on this tanker and by that I mean by getting up at 2am when it is slightly cooler and working on my models the only way it can be done with 35+ degree days which are being cause so they say by 2 cyclones of the northern coast line of Australia. So here is a bit more of my Scania. Dingo

I think you need to take the roof spoiler off mate apart from that its a good rescue of a kit.

Yea Wolfie YA right after looking at it I thought the same thing that roof spoiler has to come off so it will be removed soon but it means a bit of patch work but that doesn't matter, I actually had the spoiler on there in the first place as that's what the original rig had and I thought wot a place to put the Aussie flag but after seeing it in position NO it has to go.

Just as you said Wolfie I ripped of the spoiler and presto it looks a lot better OK it's missing the Aussie flag but I can live with that. Oh yea the photos look better coz they're taken outside like most of my photos from now on, heat will be the telling sign if they look awful then you know it's hot here and I don't go outside on hot days that's 30+ degree heat.

rkennerley, I'll see if I can find another flag to go there but yes it needs that blue to be broken up a bit the more I look at it on-line the more I see things wrong with it amazing hey. Dingo

Photographs are a good way to spot little niggles, the flash shows them up or summat.

That tank is from where? Is it the Mack AC Bulldog tank? Or I remember having seen something likely but it was 1/35 scale military and this one is certainly 1/24.
