discussion Lee Drennen’s Kibri 1/87 HO DAF Truck with Cement Bulk Trailer

[Lee Drennen]

Kibri is my all time favorite Model Kits in 1/87 scale. I picked out one of my personal favorites to build. I’ll be building this on my New “lap table” my wife got me for Christmas. I now can sit in my favorite chair with my feet up and relax while building my favorite Model’s.

Looks very nice Lee. Is it completely injection moulded?

And wasn't that nice of your wife too!!:smiling2:

New “lap table” my wife got me for Christmas.

Definitely a far better present than socks.
Hope the kit goes together nicely.

Thanks Andrew. It’s just a regular plastic kit. Yes that was thoughtful of her she knows how much pain I’m in and how it hurts to sit in a regular chair.

Yes it is Jim. It’s going together ok so far. The trailer was started so I’m having to redo some stuff on it.

 

[Lee Drennen]

Sorry guys going have to bin this too many parts are missing from the trailer.

That's a shame Lee. I really like the look of some of these small scale truck and plant kits...

Yes I have lots of these old Kibri kits. Maybe some day I’ll do another one

 

[Jim R]

That's a pity. I suppose the parts you DO have can go in the spares box for a future build.

 

[Tworrs]

Unfortunately that happens sometimes, as Jim said, spare parts for the future.

Yes Jim. The truck is nice just going to put them away.

Yeah I should have caught that before I started the thread but I thought I could make it work. Yes spare parts are alway good.

Lee ,
just going ask for a seat, well if there's a lot missing just not worth carrying on . Pity as you rated the manufacturer highly, are they still in business and it the model still currently on their list ?

 

[Lee Drennen]

Pity as you rated the manufacturer highly,

JR they are a great Manufacturer I was the one who cannibalized this kit many years ago I tried to piece it back together but it was too fiddly. Thanks for stopping by turning out the lights and closing the door. Lol.

That's a shame lee - I take it you can still build the tractor unit in the future?

 

[Lee Drennen]

I take it you can still build the tractor unit in the future?

Yes I can. I have other trailers I might put a Sea Container chassis on it like I used to pull.

 

[A_J_Rimmer]

That's cool then - glad to here the kit isn't a complete write-off. That would look good if you did that!

Maybe some day when I get back in the mood of building these. Right now I’m in a “Wingy” rut but it’s a good rut lol.

Nothing wrong with some winged things!
