TV 12 F | old van

Little weathered models.

They gives me the opportunity to be creative in an other way than tuning.

This time a conversion from a regular wheel base to a long wheel base. The car is called TV 12F. In the photos below you can compare the finished model with the base who served me for this work.

Rocar (also T.V. or Autobuzul) was a van, bus and trolleybus manufacturer based in Bucharest, Romania. The company was created in 1951, and the first production lines were made for rolling-stock equipment and agricultural machines. (Rocar. (2015, February 16). In Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia. Retrieved 15:32, March 9, 2015, from http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Rocar&oldid=647457252)

The bus building begins in 1956. The first bus was an “MTD” type, being built since 1955 at the “Vulcan” factory, in Bucharest. The bus was designed on a SR 1o1 truck chassis, and it had an average transportation capacity of 6o passengers.

In 1973 begins the manufacturing of light utility vans, the series TV12, equipped with ARO L 125 engines (80 Bhp) and TV 14 equipped with an Diesel D 127 and ARO L 127 engine, both of them providing  68 Bhp.

The TV light utility vans was exported in some countries as TV TUDOR. They were produced in Portugal (Tagus) and in Italy (TV Ciemme).
But I wrote enough! Enjoy the ride!

 

GAZ | 53 | old boy

GAZ 53 (ГАЗ 53), known also as « Gazon » is a Russian 3.5 Tone 4x2 truck. As you know, GAZ is the abbreviation of Gorkovski Avtomobilni Zavod, a automotive factory in Nizhni Novgorod. The light truck GAZ 53/52 it was firstly introduced in 1961. Main power unit was an old Russian 6 cylinder in line engine, developing 75 hp (56 kW). The truck was produced until 1989.

The model I present is @ 1|43 diecast ready-made produced by the Russian die-cast collectible maker, Nash Avtoprom (Наш Автопром). Its speciality are 1|43rd reproductions but it has several 1|18th very good models. The prices are to an « affordable » level. Due to reasonable price, there are some challenges for the advanced modellers in order to have a « true to reality » model in their display.

I chose the exactly opposite way of treatment: the weathering.

But I wrote enough! Enjoy the ride!

volvo c3o | daily racer

Volvo C3o is a compact four seater manufactured by Volvo Cars. It was produced between 2oo6 and 2o13 a a single generation with a facelift in 2o11.

The top engine provided for this car is an 2,521 cc (2.5 L; 153.8 cu in) in line 5 turbo which puts at the accelerator pedal for the driver around 23o Hp and 320 Nm. For a daily driver is is enough.

A particular design signature for C3o I consider to be the rear styling and frameless glass recalling Volvo's earlier P18oo

The model is an 1|24th scale reproduction by Welly. I changed the rims (you can see 5 fixing screws for front rims and 4 for rear). Putted the brake disks and brake callipers (what a shame, Mr. Welly, you didn't do this...). The interior gets also a brick red accents and black for being more realistic. But we talked enough! Enjoy the ride.
