DAF 3600 G.S. vd IJssel Tanktransporten

  • Beschreibung

THE DAF PARTS ARE NOT FOR SALE!
i am only making 1 truck for myself

As a hobby project i am building the DAF 3600 that my father drove.
My father has past away many years ago, i inherited the love for trucks from him.
I am now in the process of making a 1/14 RC Replica of the truck he used to drive. This DAF was used for the transport of Bitumen. The colours on the truck represent G.S. v.d. IJssel tank transports.
I am fully drawing the cab, interior, chassis, engine and Tanker trailer.
This DAF will have lights and sound and be fully remote controlled. I am reproducing every detail like the truck was back in the day. No detail is missed, even the plastic drink cups, thermos flask, ballpoint etc. that were in the interior will be made to the correct scale. I will be painting the truck and trailer in the correct colour scheme with the official paint colour codes.

The truck i am making as a replica.
