Scania 144L flatbed

This build is probably not my best build, admitely I did slack on this one. At least, I think. Regardless, it's almost done. Got a little more weathering, decaling, and a little mod to do before it will look 99.9% 'OK'.

I had an issue with the chassis that I could not fix. That is why the front looks like it is leaning to one side. So I decided it would have a burst airbag or some kind of Axel problem. After all it has had a hard life.

Your 'slack' builds are better than anything I could ever imagine doing.

Very nice.

Seems repainted two / three times like a real used tractor.

Looks very realistic ! Great weathering and the"repainted" cabin is so nice :-)

If this is done by me, it's definitely my best. AMAZING built! And you could be a massive cheat with a shrink flashlight, you just randomly pick some trucks on the curb, shoot them and post here...

Another nice one Tiking,also looks like you done some scratch building on the top light bar also? Did you extend the fuel tank or join the two of them together? Anyway looking great!!!

Thanks. The flatbed was scratch built. The fuel tank was taken from a DAF truck. The top light bar is from KFS, if I remember correctly. I used lights from another set I bought from a local flee market and scratch buiit the lamp supports.

Wow another fantastic build. I thought the first picture was the real truck you were using for inspiration. Really great work
