[Minairons] 1:100 Chevrolet truck

[Lluis of Minairons]

I'm happy to share our latest SCW model kit - the 1937 Chevrolet 1.5 ton truck, now in 1:100^th scale!



Model itself consists of three DLP 3D-printed parts comprising main hull, cabin roof and optional canvas top, complemented by two hard plastic fore wheels. Some assembly is still required, then.

Cheers,

I think I could manage sticking all those parts together, Lluis 

One question, if I may: why did you go for separate wheels for the cab, but not for the rear of the truck? Just interested!

No top secret there; when I devised my first non hard plastic AFV (which was the Bilbao armoured car), I started thinking that regular truck wheels would be necessitated for many other forthcoming models; but I soon realized that only fore wheels would be a common elements of such models, because rear wheel parts would differ considerably from one model to another, due to chassis configurations. So in the end I just brought to plastic a small sprue of fore wheels and generic MGs. That's all, actually.

Ha ha - a very practical and pragmatic explanation,  then - thanks Lluis!
