Re: FIAT/OM 180T truck 6x2 1/24

the main external difference that must be scratchbuild for the 180 is surely the front bumper.
I dont think there is any way to obtain it from the spare one u can have from 190s or turbostar. it is very important to give him the proper shape and thickness. Nearly all in this serie had a very big steel hook on the right side of the front chassis, so not in the front little window.

And one step that stopped me for several months was to find something suitable for the metal corniche the front lights have over the glass. A cool tip was to use the 1/35 PE set from eduard about the Vab . The side windows are perfect for the usage on the 180...















and here another critical point in H cabins early series (low roof). the water line around the front windshield frame











and an overall look.
