TATRA 815 VT 28 265 8x8.1 (Probebau) / Spida / 1:32

Hello Kartonists, next project to be done by myself is Check-build
of TATRA 815 VT 28 265 8x8.1 from Dakar Rallye 1988.
This is second project of Spida - publisher /specialized in Dakar area/ and my second check-build of his work.

Complete info about Spida´s works can find on /English version since 15th March2006/

My recomandation is for Download section where you can get some easy Dakar models or 12V Tatra engine suitable for 6x6 or 8x8 version of 1:32 model.

And here is first picture - front fender of Tatra truck compared with picture of real truck. Light wire protections are laser cutted elements from production of MiGas. Positions and damages are according to real truck. Going to build truck in moment when still in the race /as well as my first Tatra of Spida/ to create later a Dakar 88 diorama.

Again using patina techniques as aquarell-colours and chalk dust to make the truck looking realistic.

Hello Kartonists, this is basic engine block before adding exhausts and turbos

Hi Krajda.

"destroy"?? - there were damaged only leaf-suspensions as well as on 6x6truck and front windows were cracked - but this was in time when 6x6 truck was out of race /and since want to make a couple logical - this will not be possible. Of course some weathering "destruction" will be applied.

Here are helmets for staff - complete set is 3pieces /have made yesterday only 2pcs and landed them on 6x6truck/

Jan, helmets will be part of kit - for sure.
I can not speak about kit at moment. I got from designer several pages of frame and wheels parts without construction drawing, marking of parts - this all will follow later from designer to be controlled.

But the question from designer was yesterday raised as follows:

WOULD YOU PREFFER THIS TATRA 8WHEEL DAKAR TRUCK IN SCALE

1:32 /typical for Czech modellers/

or

1:25 /to be more close to polish standard/

2 Krajda - CZ: jasne ze jsem to pochopil a ten motor je dost zaflakany hlavne proto, ze roura kominu byla pozdeji v zavode "zcela" urazena, takze saze zdobi - zadni stenu kabiny, celo nastavby a i bocni kryci panely.

A tresen na zaver - bude i limitovana /max 20ks/ 2D rucne predpatinovana 8x8 vystrihovanka /do Chodova pro Romana budu mit i 6x6 - tak pozorne sleduj jeho stranky/

:usenglish:
Well the weathering of engine is extreme, since exhaust was lost due the race and backside of cabine and frontside of load space were completely "black". There is going to be limited print of max 20pcs of card-model pre-weathered by myself on 2D cardmodel for version "deep in race"

....engine finished
