Why is "phonetically" spelt with a "ph"?
... It's better to be silent and thought a fool, then to speak up and remove all doubt
The complex of Newgrange was originally built between c. 3100 and 2900 BC,[2] meaning that it's aproximately 5,000 years old. According to Carbon-14 dates,[3] it is more than 500 years older than the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt, and predates Stonehenge by about 1,000 years.

Well here she is 99% complete (I just need to add some red/white striping to the front bumper), i'm happy enough with it for my first attempt, let me know what ye think!!  Isn't that the truth?
Nice job - what is your decal source? I have a number of lame E-Bay models which are in dire need of a repaint and new decals. Obvious retirement work...

good stuff Homer,but I'm not too gone on that livery at all  she looks great!! but you got that front decal on way to straight I love the white wheel trims,that just sets it off perfectly,and as you say just some red/white warning stripes and whammo!!!! doing the first repaint is great!! when you get it done you realise how little trouble you thought was in it, so whats next for the Nitro circus Noel?

Ulf, the decals are Bastian decals from BOW in germany, they have a section in their shop with many different decals, these are from the felbermayr truck and trailer set. Their very good quality decals and were surprisingly easy to apply, easier than I expected anyway! And this was also an ebay model that i picked up in fairly poor condition so I didn't mind attacking it! Graham I was trying to match your front decal but I found it difficult to get that fancy curve of yours into it.. that must come with experience!!  Yeah i'm glad to have the first one done, the conrad models are a joy to dismantle and rebuild, everything comes apart and fits back together nicely again. As for the next one.. have a look on the window cill in the second picture!!
Noel.

I studied and carried out research for years to find out just where to put the curve and how much of a curve to apply so as to need "X" amount of booze consumed so the decal then appears level

Could you please compare them with a R916? If you have one of course...

Thanks Aubrey and graham, there doesn't seem to be much interest in models here anymore.. oh well!  Graham you wont be disappointed with this model, she's a beaut, the mt aurthur will be cast aside when the package arrives and this will get all your attention! As for the rubber strip, thats to protect the paint on my new trailer not the shelf!! Antho, I dont have a 916 but as far as I know the only difference between the models is the number on the side that says 926 instead of 916!! It even comes in a r916 box so I'd say they just altered it to suit felbermayrs real machine. I dont think there's much difference between them in 1:1 anyway but cant be sure as i'm not really a dirt guy!
Noel.

thats a nice aquisition Noel! a brilliant stand out set, is there a certain number to differentiate the big Actros to the smaller one? I much prefer the bigger actros,are they even produced in a Titan version? that seemed like a very clean job that 926 was at thanks for snapping and sharing Noel
