The heating of the bottom is only one part of the electric/electronic controll. Wolf

Off course air dryer systems do not use alcohol to prevent the system from freesing. The main contence is an air dryer cartridge, which has to be replaced every 80000 miles or so. But you need a 4 liter recovery air tank additional in the system which blows out the moisture when the regulator...

RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: Unimog SEE at GSA Hallo Mog-lover Kyle F. McGrogan, thanks for your positive statement on Unimogs. If you know how to get in, it is easy. The 404 S shall not be compared with a U500. Is is the same as to compare a TV-set from 1955 with a TV-set of 1998. Of course there...

No kidding, Saturn and Uranus are former Kloeckner Humbold Deutz trucks, which of course had an Alcohol evapurator for the winter time. Any truck without an air dryer usually has an alcohol evapurator to prevent freezing of ther valves in temperatures below 1° Celsius. If you can not get the...

According to my understanding of the statement, the towed truck was not linked to the towing vehicle brake system. Thats why they have the couplers in front. In case of an emergency braking , means some locking wheels (no ABS awailable) on the towing vehicle, it will lose the straight forward...

Sorry, but you won the first price. Except from a scrap frame I think there is no hope. Wolf

I did not know that the Finish Army hat that much russian equipment. Some of the trucks look like drive away condition. Where they expensive or for reasonable price? Wolf

The Monogrm truck with a copy of the matching wheels and a modified bed also will do it. I built this gas REO in 1982. The wheels are cast copys from the 88 Tamiya Flak 38. The bed id scratch built. For the early years of the German Army this is good enough. Wolf

I would not do this with an original. But a very good model trial. Nice model! Wolf

I also have some M113 variations, however I built them some 25 + years ago....

That is the tractor part of the Atomic Anny , the M249, I suppose, which should be a cab over engine. The cab part looks like a standard 5 to 10 ton Reo hood with gasoline engine with a WWII tractor cab, for example Federal or Diamond with soft top cab. Nice mixture. Who can prove this did not...

papercu, for your information, ROCO definately is bankrupt, even the sucsessor GmbH. The military vehicle part is taken over by Herpa Models and still under limited production. So your original ROCO Models will increase in value, at least in Europe. Wolf

Honestly, I do not have a M38A1 in my collection. But I have since some 25 years those REO's and other ex US vehicles in my collection. One example of a scratch built Faun truck which is my favourite one as a original, however no space for the original! All these pictures are scanned from paper...

RE: plastic model kits Revell also changes molds with Italeri and sometimes with Tamiya. For example the Revel and Italeri HEMTT is excactly the same kit; I own both of them. The Revell kit is a little cheeper, at least in Germany. Sure, the wheels are not the very best ones, but the overall...

I also have Jimmy's as models

Model car should bee keept in your "I love me" room with no access for uninterested people like wifes or destroyers like little kids. Or would your wife like something like this?

Holland hitches is, to my knowledge, the biggest hitch maker in the US. Wolf

Bob, you use your Unimog in the intended way of use. Maintain your Unimog and get old with it. Probabely it will never leave you alone. The only ennemy left for you Umimog seems to be rust. Good luck, Wolf

The steel hardtop looks close to the original. But to my opinion it is not the original one. Can you say something about it?

RE: Re: 818 Andydieselpower's tractor is, what the US Army calls them in Europe, a bigfoot. So it should be an A1 at least. It has not the higher modifications like in Europe the Kontrollgeraet (writing tachograph). So it was rebuilt for shure in the States. To the tractor entusiats: What ever...
