Military - Scania 110/111 Truck
Again a very ordinary truck without any other adaptation than getting a green paintwork, less chrome and a few special details.
What to use
For this one I used two differnt trucks. one Scania 110/111 semi trailer truck from Wiking and one Scania L 110/111 ordinary flat bed. The idea was to switch cabins between them. The picture shows what I used.
Bild 1: The two trucks.
At first I had to separate the cabins from the chassis on both trucks to see how to cut. The blue truck was simple and snapped apart in a few minutes, but the grey one was more difficult as it is assembled with some samll glue dots in strategig places, but after som judiciary bending to show the parting lines the second truck was soon disassembled.
Next stage was to cut off the frames for the cabins and switch them between the trucks. Together with some new supports and fitted wheel axles and a sutiable supoort to prevent sagging the two chassis were glued and left to cure for a couple of days.
Bild 2: The two chassis waiting for the glue to cure.
When the glue was dry and hard the reinforcements (the white bits) were filed to shape to follow ther est of the chassis. Then the two chassis and cabins were painted, first spearately and then assembled to avoid missed spots.
The flat bed became all green, no camouflage on the outside, olive green seats, gray floor and olive green sides on the insde of teh doors. Sine the truck can be disassembled quite much it was possible to paint without pinting pats beside. A short while later it is ready and looks as follows.

A nearly finished truck lacking only a few details. The details missing on this particular truck are:
When these little details are in place the truck looks as follows.
