In line with his usual attention to detail, he couldn't resist building a mobile hand crank for its landing legs, homemade wheel hubs and hydraulic rams for the rear tailgate:     Regards. Guy

Guy you should see if Jean-Francois could get pictures from start to finish on one of his projects, I bet they would be very interesting.

The WSI IVECO tractor was modified by Jean-Francois as well, its high roof, being replaced by a flat low roof unit:     Regards. Guy

Guy: Love that Mack 4x2 And the interesting load. Is that a Corgi trailer? Why do you prefer the Tekno kits over the ready built?

Craig, I think that the semi-trailer is, either a Tekno or a WSI Pacton 3-axle flatbed. Load is made with some electrical parts, found in one of Jean-Jacques "bits and pieces" boxes. Tekno kits are of excellent quality and about half price of ready-built units. They can be built and painted as per your own wishes, without having to dismantle and strip down paint of a costly model (generally sold together with a semi-trailer, moreover). Jean-Paul bought a few F700 Mack kits from Bemo Models (that Dutch seller was taken-over by Tekno BV earlier this year) and got them all built and painted by Jean-Francois, to suit his own requirements. Link to the Bemo Models webite: https://www.bemomodels.com/enI hope this helps. Guy

The Simba ARFF - produced by Rosenbauer and Titan GmbH in the 80s - had two 625hp engines at rear. With its 1250hp installed, the vehicle of 44 tonnes GVW could accelerate from 0 to 80km/h in 25 seconds and was able to reach a 125km/h maximum speed on airport runways:     Regards. Guy
