Cars, trucks and people

[Schraddel]

Hello,

the next truck. Condiments:
- Brekina Mack Model B tractor.
- P2K dump bed (was part of a load for flat cars)
- some pieces of styrene sheet
- some short sections of mahagony strip (ship modelling)


As purchased. Note European style rear fenders.


The fifth wheel and some parts had to go.


Preparing the bed.


Mounting the dump bed onto the frame.



Shortening the exaust pipe. Adding a head board.



Adding attachment planks.


For comparison Athearn vs Brekina. Which model is better? Hard to tell. Here in EU Brekina is regular available und not so pricey. 
Athearn has released their truck modells only in tiny homeopatic doses and in in long time intervals. Also the Athearn prices are forbidden high. Examples: Kenworth W900 + 40' trailer 65,00€. The models are rather old and about 30 years on the market. And the newest excess: Yard tractor + 45' container + chassis 83,90€

At least:

Kenworth Bullnose cab over. (in person unwrapped)
