Hi everyone . Here is my design of the 8258 crane truck. In the first few days after sales it becames very clear for me that the standard set wasn’t good enough, I want it to be more like the real thing. So it took me a lot of pictures to make out what design I wanted, I choosed for a 5 axled truck. I made the chassis longer and added an steered axle. The open roof is completely closed and I changed the complete front grill appearance more to the modern R series from Scania, I’ve given it 2 extra front stabilizers for cranening forward. I also have made some furnishing for in the cabin. I also rebuild the knuckleboom of the crane, the normal single extension wasn’t enough for me, but I had no clue of how to make it longer. After some search at google I found pictures of a builder who has made an rear mounted crane on the 8258 and his crane has 3 extensions and a jib,( I don’t know if it’s familiar to you). So this was what I needed for my crane . My crane is some more improved to the one on the pictures I found . I’ve made an 2 axled lowloader to complete the model, the gooseneck can be dropped so something can be loaded. Enjoy the pictures With trailer Front grill For more pictures > click
