current project IDF MACK DM895SX
1/34 scale
base kit A.E.F. Designs
the idea is to create a model that represents the trucks as used during the 1982 operations in lebanon
the intention is to use as many parts and components from the kit and upgeade others to bring the entire theme to an accurate and acceptable model
the solution was to correct and salvage as many parts as possible
and to scratch build all the other parts and components that can not be used nor salvaged
the chassis was badly wrapped and twisted and bent, a quick fix was dipping it in boiling water for a few seconds and aligning it to a satisfactory result, and to stretch it by 2.2 or 2.4 cm (still assessing the correct length)
next is scratch making the goose neck which is badly represented in the kit
more updates will follow shorty
enjoy and happy modelling
