Kalcher, Alexander Einstieg in den LKW-Modellbau. Aufbau und Umbau von LKW-Bausätzen

Alexander Kalcher shows you the whole variety of truck modelling in this book.
Based on different kits, the first step is to show how to build a model "out of the box" - i.e. according to the building instructions. The author discusses special features and gives tips on how to improve a kit with just a few resources. Then he continues with detailed improvements, embellishments and adaptations to personal taste, so that models are created that are absolutely unique. The wealth of information on the technical background, be it mechanics, electronics or remote control technology, is also very helpful and makes it easier for beginners in particular to take their first steps in this fascinating hobby. Infographics explain even more complicated issues in an easily understandable way and a large number of illustrations complement the text.

Trucks are not only the backbone of logistics - they are also extremely fascinating. The technology of the various designs, but also the size of these vehicles alone make them real highlights for technology fans. And for model builders they are worthwhile replica objects that can be equipped with almost unlimited special functions or turned into real gems with light and sound effects.
