2022 - Volvo FH500

[MCD]

 

Hi all, after the great response in the recreation of my Volvo F16 It was time to do something bang up to date. I'm a massive fan of Marco's #Technicprojects Volvo FH. In fact I have a few, so I decide to tackle a 2022 facelift FH500. This truck is a 100% new construction, and I feel a great evolution. I will be doing instructions soon and they will be hosted on my Rebrickable page. #mcd_technic

I'm personally very happy with how it turned out, designing in Studio allowed me to really sense check it before ordering bricks. I went for LBG in colourway to pick out the modern lines of the silver 2022 launch trucks. But this can also be built in DBG, White, Orange and Possible Red - Pending availability of SP3 parts. The wheels, by the way I spray myself with a chrome hobby paint.

This is the Studio model (from which I will now refine build order and generate instructions)

And here you can see it with one of my F16s in the same scale, 34 years between these two trucks:

And finally with Marco's Original stunning FH - But rebuilt in white:

Thanks for looking! Hope you like!

Very nice, high level of details and proportions look spot on

Really love your trucks!

One thing: Windshiled wipers are mounted on the wrong side for RHD

Thank,  glad you recognise that,  spent ages agonising and trying to fit in half stud adjustments...

Would fill the 1-stud gaps behind the doors (these recessed places for windows) with plates, the wedges ideally, so they will remain recessed but not so deep.

Looks fantastic, Mike. Love the whole shaping of the cab.

That's a valid point, it hadn't really bothered me but I could look at better options. Wedges would be no good as they have Studs which would ruin the look I think? Do you have any suggestions on which parts?

Thanks for that, it seems to have really worked out - lucky the selection of Lego parts allows for such a close match. Not all trucks work so well in this scale.

There are several triangle tiles now available but they don't have so many variations as studded wedges do. BrickLink Reference Catalog - Parts - Category Tile, Modified
