Volvo F6 Beavertail Transport
This build came about by converting and scratch building, the old Italeri Volvo F6 Fire ladder kit. I had bought this a couple of years ago at an exhibition together with other second hand kits for little or nothing. I did not know what to do with the kit, until recent. So, it is no more a fire truck but an old beavertail machine transport carrier. I see many most enthusiast convert old and sometimes new trucks into other types of themes to suit their intensions. This might carry a lot of load but ,we'll consider this a private farmer or truck company wanting to have easy access to transport small and medium size machinery to their destination without renting. I was thinking of adding a Volvo F16 but not too sure.
Another fantastic result, Charles!
Cannot get more real.
Congratulations!
Thank you kindly Spiros. Glad you like the results.
Always a pleasure to see your amazing results, Charles. Well done!
Much appreciated Gary. Thank you.
Awesome, you can’t get much more realistic than this
Thank you Pedro.
All too real looking Charles !
I like that you depict real working vehicles. Elbow grease is what keeps the show on the Road.
HeHe! I read you loud and clear Bernard. 🙂 Thanks buddy.
So real, that when i look at the upright loading ramps, I plainly anticipate the heft of easing it to the ground. Love the weathering... moreover, your builds have the near unique ability to make a singular object into a self-standing diorama. A good model depicts well what the object is, while a good diamora speaks to when/where/why & how... this truck has such a presence. Great work!
A very uplifting reply Andrew. Thank you kindly.
Amazing realism as always!
Thank you kindly Greg.
Another amazing Charles King project.
Glad you approve Tom. Thank you.
Excellent work, Charles @tiking
It is almost scary to see this kind of realism.
It looks even better than the real ones.
Well done.
He!He! Too kind John. Thank you.
This looks great as it is, Charles, without a load, definitely liked. Nice to see a non-military model in these troubled times as well.
Thanks. I read you loud and clear on that last sentence.
Given the current news climate, it's a relief to see a model that is constructive and useful to society as a whole.
Love the attention to detail Charles. Your a great student and practitioner of dust and grime on trucks and construction equipment.
Thank you kindly Stephen. Agree on those current issues about the world today.
