Force Posted November 30, 2013 Posted November 30, 2013 Another unbelievable build, Thanks for showing it to us.
Plastheniker Posted December 1, 2013 Author Posted December 1, 2013 Thanks for your replies so far! I found 3 nice pictures of a typical Büssing underfloor engine in an old truck brochure. Unfortunately they have a strong yellow tint. If I can eliminate it I will post them here.
randx0 Posted December 2, 2013 Posted December 2, 2013 That is awesome. Also a nice history lesson . Thanks for sharing and illuminating .
Plastheniker Posted December 10, 2013 Author Posted December 10, 2013 Thanks again! Here come the engine pictures on a now snow-white background. They show a typical Büssing underfloor engine of the fifties.
Pavel A. Posted December 14, 2013 Posted December 14, 2013 Great Jürgen. Another outstanding build from you! I like it. Pavel.
1959scudetto Posted December 26, 2013 Posted December 26, 2013 Jürgen - absolutely fantastic! This has to be the ultimate scratch-built truck model - it cannot be better thas this! As written before, I could never spend about 1000 hours on a single model, but it was defenitely worth it and it shows. Also the colors are spot-on and period-correct; but what else is to be expected from you? Moreover: TOP photography!
Plastheniker Posted January 3, 2014 Author Posted January 3, 2014 Thanks for all further comments! BTW if you wonder what these two dots on top of the letter ü in the name Büssing are good for here is a simple (notn-scientific) explanation: Germanic languages as well as Finish, Hungarian and even Turkish have modified vowels mostly written as Ä/ä, Ö/ö and Ü/ü. They modify the pronounciation of the respective standard vowels. In German the standard vowel U/u is always pronounced like the vowel U/u in the English words bush (short) or rude (long). In German the modified vowel Ü/ü is always pronounced like the vowel U/u in the French words russe (short) or tu (long). Even if this is more than you ever wanted to know – now you could pronounce Büssing (and my first name Jürgen) correctly.
David G. Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 Now, that is just Fabulous! Excellent work. David G.
Plastheniker Posted January 17, 2014 Author Posted January 17, 2014 Thanks a lot for the feedback! Every comment is appreciated.
chuckyr Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 Wonderful museum quality representation. Is that a 6 cylinder diesel engine?
Plastheniker Posted January 19, 2014 Author Posted January 19, 2014 Wonderful museum quality representation. Is that a 6 cylinder diesel engine? Yes, you are right. It is a 6 cylinder prechamber diesel, initially 13.5 litre with 180 PS (1 PS is appr. 1 HP net), since 1954 15.0 litre with 200 PS.
