Jean-Francois built this Berliet GXO from a Minicirque kit. As usual, he machined some parts (wheels, pulleys...) that he considered too crude or being badly reproduced: ![](https://2img.net/r/ihimizer/v2/800x600q70/924/WBjpLW.jpg) ![](https://2img.net/r/ihimizer/v2/600x800q70/922/k9C6N1.jpg) ![](https://2img.net/r/ihimizer/v2/800x600q70/922/Tc2vIs.jpg) ![](https://2img.net/r/ihimizer/v2/800x600q70/923/oWjTIg.jpg) To be continued.

Other model built by Jean-Francois, the Nicoletti SAVIEM 6x6 (owned by SONEXA during the Nice airport construction phase), which was usually towing the company low bed Nicolas 4-line semi-trailer (modified Conrad model + home-made trailer with Corgi modules): ![](https://2img.net/r/ihimizer/v2/800x600q70/923/sPkgAG.jpg) ![](https://2img.net/r/ihimizer/v2/800x600q70/922/bKWjGb.jpg) ![](https://2img.net/r/ihimizer/v2/800x600q70/923/v93SCh.jpg) ![](https://2img.net/r/ihimizer/v2/800x600q70/923/HRKEgB.jpg) Regards.

As the 6x6 model is completed, the other unit (crew-cabbed 6x4) can be re-assigned to its usual 3-line ACTM lowboy (modified Conrad model + homemade trailer): ![](https://2img.net/r/ihimizer/v2/800x600q70/924/euN0ry.jpg) ![](https://2img.net/r/ihimizer/v2/800x600q70/923/6I7pjg.jpg) ![](https://2img.net/r/ihimizer/v2/800x600q70/924/OQv2DP.jpg) ![](https://2img.net/r/ihimizer/v2/800x600q70/923/eSQcTb.jpg) As a bonus, both tractors in their usual duties (pictures issued from the forum "Photos de Camions No2" "Nicoletti" chapter): ![](https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/800x264q70/923/ro65a0.jpg) Regards.

In Bundesrepublik of Germany still, a modeler who didn't seem to produce a lot in 1/50 scale (I was only able to find 2 models in that scale: a Magirus-Deutz fire engine and this one. Pity that, on this tractor the fifth wheel is so crude, the model being nicely reproduced otherwise): ![](https://2img.net/r/ihimizer/v2/800x600q70/924/qMmitS.jpg) Mercedes-Benz LS 315 4x2/2 tractor and Strüver 1-axle tank semi-trailer (M. Geiger models, to be modified), ![](https://2img.net/r/ihimizer/v2/800x600q70/922/CHikdE.jpg) ![](https://2img.net/r/ihimizer/v2/800x600q70/924/orHP2v.jpg) ![](https://2img.net/r/ihimizer/v2/800x600q70/922/FodzqW.jpg) Regards.

Last example of a road transport in Bundesrepublik of Germany, a truck-trailer combination - then a favorite German architecture - in the livery of a local bier, brewed in Stuttgart: ![](https://2img.net/r/ihimizer/v2/800x600q70/924/2ypAyb.jpg) ![](https://2img.net/r/ihimizer/v2/800x600q70/922/wGhsiV.jpg) ![](https://2img.net/r/ihimizer/v2/800x600q70/922/5mmSmg.jpg) Mercedes-Benz 1932L 4x2/2 truck fitted with a Kässbohrer sheeted dropside body and Kässbohrer D17 1+2-axle sheeted dropside trailer (modified NZG models), ![](https://2img.net/r/ihimizer/v2/800x600q70/923/XIfMLb.jpg) Regards.

Jamiescotland and kcmtoys, Many thanks for your interest to this topic. I agree with you: the model Berliet GXO oil field truck looks great. Only one 1:1 scale truck was ever built, when Berliet was trying to fight against Kenworth domination in that field, but they didn't succeed. ![](https://2img.net/r/ihimizer/v2/800x600q70/924/udAyOL.jpg) Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 419 CDI 4x2/2 van with Versalift VTL 145-F access manlift equipment: Siku model, ![](https://2img.net/r/ihimizer/v2/800x600q70/923/FqMhnE.jpg) ![](https://2img.net/r/ihimizer/v2/800x600q70/922/0yFP7G.jpg) ![](https://2img.net/r/ihimizer/v2/800x600q70/924/uegpWQ.jpg) Regards.
