Scania LB76

[and31]

I’ve just started making a Scania Vabis LB76 tractor unit so thought I’d start a thread.
This was the first model of scania sold in the uk and was designed with the uk market in mind
It’s 1/24 scale
Kit is a sleeper cab so had to cut it down to a day cab-

Obviously I’ve had to cut down and section the roof to get it to fit the shortened cab

Interesting, what scale is it ?

Lucas Cav-Post some pics please!!
There is only four or five in preservation that I can think of in the uk.i’d love One!!
Is there any chance you could get any chassis pics? Some pics of the chassis plumbing would be a massive help as I can’t find much online.
My father bought a nearly new LB80 super when I was very young-I thought it was the business after our Bedford km’s Lol

Mock up of how it looks on the chassis
Ignore the wheels-they are my test fit ones-and more work needed to the roof...
