Scania 144L

Wednesday 26 August 2009
The Scania 4-series was truck model range introduced in 1995. It was the successor of the 3-series and it came in five engine combinations and four chassis types. Production of Scania 4-series was stopped after its successors P-series, R-series and T-series were introduced in 2004. The engine sizes are - as usual for the 1-4 series - shown in the model name with a number constructed by the cylinder volume in litres followed by the generation of truck. This way a 14 litre engine in the 4-series will be a 144. The model is out of the box kit produced by Italeri and built by me.

Technical data:
- engine: V8
- capacity: 14000 cc
- horsepower: 530 HP
- gearbox: 16+2
- top speed: 90 km/h

Scania 143M

Saturday 8 August 2009
In 1987-88, Scania introduced the 3-series, awarded the "Truck of the Year" award in 1989. In the 3-series, Scania further refined its modular thinking. The company was able to manufacture "made-to-measure" trucks based on customer orders. In a dialogue with the dealer, each customer could specify individual demands. Together, they were able to design a truck - component by component and part by part. The result was a "made-to-measure" truck, with a unique combination of components and equipment. Computers broke down this unique truck order into its constituent elements. This immediately resulted in sub-orders for frame members, axles, a cab, transmissions and an engine from component manufacturers. These would be assembled a few weeks later on a predetermined date at one of Scania's chassis workshops.
The model kit comes from Italeri. It was initially meant as a salvage vehicle, but I have changed the concept to the current one, based on photos and blueprints of original truck.
