You cannot knock Tamiya on their quality of there bodies, But these lorries ones are complex with all the parts and I have to say it looks very nice. The lines on there lexan bodies is a multi part mould, I saw it on a video of their factory. To form complex lexan shapes the centre of the mould pulls down first allowing the end parts it move inwards so they get the more complex profiles out. If not they would not be removable from the vacuum forming.
Wow thank you for that information. I didn't know. And it can't be seen, because the body's just one piece😉. But this is the only point for me I have to complain. The rest is perfect and the parts fit together very great. The markings on the Iron I couldn't trust, but here, even with unprecise work, it's awesome.
Thank you Thad. In Europe they still race. But therefore you have monster trucks which unfortunately are seen only every few years. Or you go on a long road trip.
Hi there Dirk, that body was a real labour of love 😊😊😊lots of time and planning went into that beautiful body. That masking solution worked really well. Shame about the sponsor decals and that moulding line around the cab, still Great work. Best wishes to you and the family 😊
Thank you so much John. The line is somehow an equivalent to the holes of the tilitng mechanism of your Scania. Something that might have been avoided, if someone has made up his mind. Addam told me he'll do an explaining video about the procduction of theses bodies in the nearer future. So I'll see if I'm wrong.
Great job buddy! 👌 Gosh you have put some serious time and effort into this.... but the end result is something to be proud of! Delightful mate. 👍 👍 👍 👍
It looks great Dirk, the frame rails and motor area turned out great! The line in the cab is from the sliding molds used in the large cab, it allows for more details and undercuts in the body shell and the have to retracts one section to be able to get the body off the mold. It is unfortunate it is right down the middle of the cab but a lot of details would have been lost if they didn't.
Thank you Addam for watching and your explaination. But it's hard for me to understand. I had hulls of model ships here, much bigger and produced with the same method. So I'm wondering why. And thinking of this bubble there was enough space on it to put the line behind the cabin. In the end it's just like other things, only the builder knows it, other people just🤩. Have a great weekend my friend.
Looks really nice, that body! I was not aware it is so much work involved in painting a truck body, but at least you achieved a very nice result with this one! Yes, that silver looks really nice! I'll head over and watch the Bittydesign body video now, I am curious to see the difference.
Thanks a lot foR your kind comment. I'm glad you like it. For me the Iron is more interesting, because it's not seen so often. But the Merc's on the winning straight when it come to build it😉
Thank you Damian. It's Tamiya, so it's easy to do and works. It takes some time, but I'm not in the situation to get my first RC out on rhe street😉. And as the steps in between work and give the feeling of quick success. The only annoying job are the nuts, washers and screws that hold the body together. Had the feeling that even my 24 crawlers were easier.
@@DustyFingersRC understandable. Let me know if I can help. I can also recomment to visit their page from time to time. Sometimes they have lowered prieces. My hop-ups I get dieret from the manfactor, but it would save shipping money if everyting's coming from one hand😉
Thank you Robert. It's like being on a knife's edge. You take the challenge to build a nice body, which is great. On the other hand this is a racing car, you want to avoid weight and live with driving scars. Not easy😉
Thanks Fonzie. Two viewers told me it's because of the production. But I had bigger ship hulls without these lines and produced with the same technology. And in this case there was a lot of space behind the cabin on the bubble for those lines. So I'm wondering.
If you want a nice car for sure. If you want to race you leave the rear side of the cabin open and dont even use the frame. So it's just 4 pieces to cut out. Paint job is just for identifying the car on the track, no details needed. But yes, the tourin cars are more easier to build. On the rallye cars you change the paint work against stickers😉
It's great to work with. You need four thin layers of mask. One should do the job, too. But for cutting areas out the layers help a lot and for pealing it off, also. The price is heavy first. But the first bootle was used on six cars over three years. I'm not the one who's familiar with tapes, more getting to the spots with a brush. So this is my weapon of choise.
Dirk, the time you took to mask and cut out for the paint scheme it awesome. the small imperfection you pointed out is not noticeable It looks amazing. 👍🤏

It's really a splendid work for this truck body, very realistic and well done. The result is excellent. Bravo 👏
Thanks a lot Pascal. As I know your work, your comment is twice value
@@RCBirds You're welcom Dirt 😉👍
Incredible work Durk absolutely awesome job brother 👊
Thank you Mark. Have a great weekend.
This looks great Dirk. These remind me of my childhood in the 80’s when semi trucks raced circle tracks, and drag strips both.
Thank you Thad. In Europe they still race. But therefore you have monster trucks which unfortunately are seen only every few years. Or you go on a long road trip.
Cool, saubere Arbeit sehr nice 👍👍💪💪👌🛻💨💙😀
Danke sehr. Habt ein schönes Wochenende.
The detail on that Mercedes is amazing. Excellent job. It looks brilliant
Thank you so much for watching and your kind comment my friend. I'm glad you like the truck
Excellent work! Can’t believe how much effort goes into painting these racing trucks.👍😊
Thank you. But this is only if you want to have a nice model. Most racers take more care of the technology under the body, which I understand😉.
Great video my friend 👌👌👌👌👌👌👌
Thanks for sharing 🎉🎉🎉
Have a wonderful day 😊😊😊
Thank you so much for watching and your kind comment my friend. Best wishes to you
Very nice job Dirk. Tiny tiny paint imperfections. Lots of great details and love the color combinations. Have a great day.

Thwnks a lot my friend. You're welcome.
Dirk you did an excellent job masking and painting this truck. The motor and exhaust alone looks very complicated to paint
Thank you Ty. This means a lot to me. But taking time, thinking and marking and rethinking along the process will lead to success for everyone😉

Danke sehr.😊
Looking very good Dirk it turned out great. I understand what you saying about the lines but as mentioned they need to be there win some loose some 🤔
Thanks Fonzie. Two viewers told me it's because of the production. But I had bigger ship hulls without these lines and produced with the same technology. And in this case there was a lot of space behind the cabin on the bubble for those lines. So I'm wondering.
It looks great Dirk! Seems most bodies have some unwanted mold lines right where you can see them... 🤦♂️ Have a great day!
Thanks a lot Mike. I wish the same to you.
I have the feeling they molded better in the good old days.
@@RCBirds Like everything else... Thank you Dirk and you're welcome!

Thank you Steve. To hear this from you's really an honor.

Nope...not for me lol - Great work once again! I would say these bodies take more detail work then the cars!! Very very cool Dirk.
