I enjoy your videos. I want to get a tamyia kits , trouble is deciding which one. I would like to know is what do I need to buy , besides the kit to get started? Thank you for your help. Spencer
Hi Bob, Great building video! You were surprised by the short chassis rails. Since most European countries have strict laws which restrict trucks (tractor + trailer) lengths, most Euro trucks are short in design. This results in Cabover with trailers ‘hugging’ the cabs in order to maximise trailer lengths (and load capacity).
Is this kit mostly metal ? I have seen ones with more metal parts and some with a lot of plastic parts ???
Hi Bob great build demo as usual a few notes on your comments the chassis length looks to be roughly correct for a full sized European truck unlike Tamiya's R series Scania and MAN TGX Euro5/6 which are actually too long in scale The tank on the right behind the exhaust box which forms part of the control unit cover would be black with a blue cap and is in reality used for Adblu (In the US you call it something else but I'm not sure what that is ) In the interior behind the seats is the bottom bunk and under the bunk between the seats are two storage lockers which are a fridge and locker or freezer so could be covered over if desired and still be realistic the upper bunk which is slightly narrower than the first is hinged up from the rear cab bulkhead at around 45 degrees when not in use this bunk is sometimes replaced by additional storage . Above the windscreen are three more lockers which sit back several inches into the office space these are depending on the spec of the vehicle are a very dark grey in colour The sunroof glass is tinted so painting it Tamiya smoke wouldn't look totally unconvincing though on the real truck there is also an interior shade which blocks out the light when required. The front tyres are super singles not dissimilar to those used on European tri axle trailers but with a different tread pattern which can aid grip and increase the axle limit to 9 metric tonnes useful for heavier loads. Personally I would ditch the vibration unit modern Euro trucks do not noticeably vibrate on tick over I am wondering though if it will be possible to add a simulated air ride cab suspension unit in the S series model as you can with the the older Euro kits with tilting cabs. Oh and the real truck stands at around 13ft 6 with the air kit attached and a standard reefer trailer is 13ft 9 in case you're interested i move into my new truck tomorrow though not a Scania has a similar interior i can post some pics on your Facebook page if anyone would like them. Sorry for waffling on and again great video Bob cheers
Hi Bob those 2 on the bottom and and the top lights where are not hole,s or sockets for the leds are for very small daylight lightbulbs in the 1/1 truck. Ihave build this model but extended the frame, to pull a 4 axle A-frame trailer behind it.Swedisch style,and that scania build as a dream,it falls together without fighting it. It was good on the price,but well worth of it. I airbrusched the winds with 3 layers of tamiya smoke. And it looks gruweling nice. As always a nice vid from a build. Love to see the next one you build to haul a tanker,but a european style tanker,3 axle big belly tanker.
Hey Bob, can not wait for mine to be shipped. I know that I will have lots of questions for you concerning this build lol. Love your work and videos, keep them coming. Will talk to you soon 😊
Excelente trabajo!!!!
Once again great video. Thank you. Give Winston some love for me!
Great job as always 👍👍👍
Great job, that is a nice truck. Have you noticed the steering design flaw on these eurotrucks. Revers akerman. Compared to a us truck chassie the front axel and steering is mounted backwards bacause the gearbox is so close to the front axel and the steeringrod dont fit. This reduce turning radius as the front tyres fight each other and skids on tight turns. You can se this by comparing wheelangel at full lock, the inner wheel have less angel than the outer wheel, should be the other way around. Have modified all my trucks to fix this with only kit parts.
Here europe often we lock the transmission in 1st gear en use the serve thats originally for transmission as the steering servo
That's gorgeous Bob!! Somehow, I've got to find a way to get one. I want to mess with all the extra lighting! 😎👌
Looking forward to your lighting project!
the new G.T power pro in the white box. it has no wires for control box its all on fone plus volume as well. less wires dont have to stress about what your going on about bob. you should try the new g.t power light sounds system out. its better then last easier to set up
Best TAMIYA truck building channel on YouTube, love your detailing.
Just a note the amber lens may be reflective lenses instead of side markers, that's why no pockets for LEDs.
Looks fantastic! You make it look so easy! Def one for me to consider…
Great job as always Bob
🔥💕👌👍
I like the Euros Trucks to. Every time I want to buy one you can scroll down the page and all they talk about is how hard they are to build. I've been building the 1/24 & 1/25th scale trucks for a long time and the Euros in those kits are a bit more challanging than the US Trucks. So with all that said, thank you for all the work you do to help people like me to learn how to work with these kits, as many have said, thanks for sharing your skills with us.
Hi bob please build a mercedes actross 3363 full with details video all lights & other thing plesae
It´s a beauty, nice build.
Brilliant job 🏴
Nice build ,looks even better in the full size version.
Great build Bob. Here in the Netherlands we have lots of Scania's driving around. Have you ever seen the Scania 770 XXL ??
I wonder why Tamiya don't start a classic truck range, British Foden, Scammell, ERF, older Mercedes, MAN or Busing, even older American trucks, I'm sure there would be a good market for classic trucks.
Lovely truck and a great build Bob , thanks for sharing. 👍
Very nice truck. Be good to see with all of the lights
Great job 👍💪
Wow great looking truck. Been wanting to build this one for awhile, but can't justify the cost of it right now. Looking forward to seeing the one with all the lights.
Great job. Awesome video.
Great truck, and very well paced video.
