Aussie Prendergast MAN TGX
by Klumpke Fri 01 Feb 2013, 9:10 am
After a year work, I finally finished my model of an Aussie MAN TGX.
I found some pictures on the internet from a MAN TGX 26.480 from Prendergast Livestock from Creswick, Victoria.
These truckfoto's I used as inspiration.
As base I took the kit from the yellow MAN TGA from Revell (07550).
To rais the (building)bar a bit higher and make it myself more difficult, I gave a little twist of my own to the model:
- The front is a resin conversion-set from A&N.
- The resin set comes in pieces, so quickly the idea came to make the cab tilt.
- Add an engine D26 because the cab does tilt!
- Adjust and extend the chassis.
- Double axles at the rear.
- Steered frontwheels.
- Open steps, no doorcaps.
- Right Hand Dash.
- Two Aussie-airfilters on the back.
- Two Eminox stacks from KFS.
- Rear wings from KFS/Auslowe.
- Double fueltanks.
- Supersingles on the front.
The real one:
I mailed some pictures of the model to Prendergast, curious if they like it, but they still didn't reply.
Is there someone who know this truck or have seen it in real?
Tell me, I like to know more about it...

Wow.

Flippin excellent work.
Well done.
