Leopard Tank Transporter

[FireflyKeith]

Had a break from building tanks for a while and ended up building this i think i will stick with tanks in the future as they are easier to find room for, this thing is over 5 foot long

thats a special thing you have there. very nice, did it start out as a Wedico truck?

[FireflyKeith]

Thanks for the comments guys, and Alan you have done a great job yourself, i think the yankie trucks look great

This one started life as this

it is a Bruder truck that was quite toy like before the make over, the generator unit was scratch built as was the trailer, apart from the rear axles which are from a Bruder low loader trailer, then i painted it olive drab and give it a good weathering.

Unfortunatly it is not RC (yet) so if anybody has any knowledge on how to RC a Bruder truck, im all ears

Cheers Keith

Thanks for the info Keith, well at least mine is RC, the cab is a 1/14 scale Tam King Hauler,
like the Tam tanks, it has great engine starting and running sounds, plus air brake, gear change and reversing beeper noise.
The low loader is a converted Bruder flat bed trailer , (that name is obviously familiar to you).
The low loader has repeater, working tail,brake,reversing and indicator lights as on the cab.
Still working (when I get a chance) on getting the ramps to operate via RC.

I'll have to give it some thought oneday.

I'm thinking this would be a nice project. No fancy steering needed and could be 4WD.
