Cars, trucks and people

[Schraddel]

Matt,

i confess, i never had heard of Sanford & Son. I had to search in wikipedia.


Brekina has released 2022 a H0 scale model of a Peterbild 281. Intially i purchased 3 of them, a red one, a green one and a orange one. Not the rust coloured one.
The "Made in Bangla Desh" truck models were initially often sloppy mounted and a whole tube of CA was used per model. Meanwhile the quality has improved and the use of CA is not so intensive. So they now do not glue the tires onto the rims.


The green Pete got the least transformations. A rear axle with a differental case converts it from a 281 (2x6) to an 351 (6x4) model.


The demounted and square remounted 351 Pete.



Some body has asked me how to demont the Rapido Trains Chevrolet.


1) Pry with a screwdriver or suitable tool between front bumper and front ent of the bottom plate.


2) This frees the snap fit.


3) Lift the front end of the body off the chassis. Here a look onto the snap fit behind the grille. Grille and bumper are one piece.


4) Note the rear snapfits.


5) Place driver and occupants, here a police officer, into. In model reality this is only the upper third of a figurine.
6) Remount in reversed order.
