Promoting Excellence in HO Scale Vehicle Modeling

Mercedes 6x6 Forestry Tractor - By Andrew Burrow


British modeler Andy Burrow built this Mercedes 6x6 forestry tractor using two Kibri kits for the cab, running gear, and headache rack. Andy added a Herpa Hiab crane and a Scania V8 engine from the spares box. The front blade and winch at the back are from TLdecals Models. The red paint is VW Tornado Red. Andy painted his model in a two tone green paint scheme using genuine Fendt and John Deere paints. Many people may have seen Andy's models on Facebook pages and know his trucks all have alloy wheels. Kibri doesn't do alloys so a root through spares and Andy found (luckily) six AWM wheels which fit over the Kibri wheel hubs.
