M929 Dump Truck

Hallo Andreas,
hier mal die offizielle Herstellerbroschüre von BMY



Ich hab mir damals den Umbausatz von MR Modellbau gegönnt und war echt zufrieden.

Yes, I have no idea what they did wrong. I think to lower the cab and the hood is to difficult. I’ll wait until I get the hard top from hobby dna, maybe this works better.

Which part do you mean? The hard top cab?

Yea the hard top and do you think it will fit. Only thing I think AFV will make the M809 series and M900 series trucks…

It is a complete cab shell with the hard top molded onto it. I :heart: Kit doesn’t mold them separately.

Alternately, the Italeri M923/M925 hardtop will fit on it as well, I have confirmed it. I cut the softtop cab apart on the I :heart: Kit M923 and the Italeri tops fit perfectly.

Looks like I will raise the cab shield by about 8-9mm on mine. That should do it.

Great start, keep it up.

Unfortunately, I didn’t know that the hard top from Italeri also fits. That would have saved me the trouble of buying a spare part, because ILK has both versions in its range.

^^ Ditto ^^ Mine just moved up in the build que. I think I will do an M936 Wrecker w/engine on the I :heart: Kit M923 first though.

I plan on building this scene from a FTX back in 2001.



I actually rebuild the ILK model with hardtop und used the canvas cover from AFV Club´s M54 kit.

Nice. Are those the AFV Club brake/hub assemblies on it as well?

Hi Hans-Hermann. Wie hast du die Plane “kopiert”?

How did you made the canvas?

Hallo Andreas,
It´s not a copy. It´s the old vacuformed canvas from Airmodel kit. I bought some Airmodel kits when they were discounted after the Italeri kit was released.

Small update.
Rebuild of the spare tire carriage.


In the picture you can clearly see that the frame of the dumper is higher, so I attached 0.06" plastic profile. Therefore the distances between the dumper and the cab also fits better.
