Italeri Volvo FH Globetrotter | Interior Delailing | Part 8

[@vaughnpeart6700]

Keep up the good work bud. Was wondering when you were planning on uploading part 9. Really enjoyed the series but was gutted when it stopped

[@haydenuk02]

Looking good and thanks for the awesome content and keep up the hard work also hope you and the family are doing well

[@MSI2k]

yells "CHEERS" kids in the other room get startled "mom, what's wrong with dad?" lol I'm glad this is still going on! and the editing to condense the build is spot on. Another good vid

[@KevTee]

Thanks mate, glad your enjoying the build. I do get some funny looks after leaving my office after signing off a video 😂😂

[@nk53nxg]

You could put 4 thin styrene blocks on the inside corner of one tank half, this is so that when the other half is closed over it cannot slide off. You can use very small self taper screws through the tank half that does not have the blocks glued onto it, and have the screws screw into the blocks sticking into the other tank half securing the two halves together. You could also just use two small black elastic bands.

[@18robsmith]

Use a couple of VERY narrow cable ties to hold the tank together - if you use them inside out you'll be able to hold the tank closed but still be able to open it to do things with the battery. Such ties are available in black or "natural" (white) so might work out of the bag........

[@jackbird8020]

Hi I hope you and your family are all well

[@mikecollings6889]

Looking really really good kev, will look fantastic when it's done.

[@waynehammerton5698]

You will have eyes like Nookie bear eating all those jaffa cakes Kev top vlog as always bud and good to see a bit more of the Volvo model build Kev

[@davidhuvelin9167]

Hello, very nice but is it finished now ? Is there a part 9 video ?

[@stuartlindle6767]

nice to this back , quite enjoying it.

[@CF21LDB]

This is fantastic Kev. Hope you feel confident in doing another lorry at a later date or a trailer. Well done buddy.

[@BritishTrucking]

Great Video Kev you can get very fine zip ties that would hold your fuel tank on and make them look like tank straps then simply cut them off to change battery and replace great stuff Kev 👍

[@patrickrocks3312]

Nice bit of model building Kev👍.

[@borgred]

Nice been waiting for this happy days

[@dextergord1161]

Looking good Kev mate

[@Scaleymodels]

Jaffa cakes and Coffee at the bench is Correct! and the LAW..Cracking job Kev and brush painted too? Yep as mentioned i would use rare earth magnets for the tank, and i would use Resin to hold them in, as ive found in the past that super glue could give way after a while. Keep up the great work Kev

[@KevTee]

Cheers for the advice made 👌

[@andy_v4443]

looks cool kev, i may have to get one.

[@bobyoung1698]

You're right, it is looking sweet. And your brush painting skills are superb. I have a similar Volvo kit on the shelf, maybe this series will help me. I'm working on a Scania R500 right now and struggling - no part seems to be a good fit.😟

[@johnchristopherbutler1152]

Love the lighting idea Kev,looks really good mate,not sure about the fuel tank thing, can't quite get my head around it,that's not really surprising, am a bit slow on the old brain front.lol.Nice to see the progress on the model is gathering pace.Stay safe and keep on trucking',#thumbsup

[@garywalker3818]

good to see the blog on the volvo the lights look cool kev gary from crewe

[@KevTee]

Thanks Gary 👍

[@simonwilkie9525]

Wow KevTee looking good

[@KevTee]

Cheers Simon 👍

[@DomingoDeSantaClara]

Looking good Kev,not sure if it was you passed me at the top of Holes Bay just after 6am this morning,I'm always in hi vis on push bike with dog in tow on the harbour cycle path. I hope your air con is better than the pile of shit I've got...bit toasty today!

[@KevTee]

Not me today in afraid, 6am I was at fleet services topping up the tank 😁

[@jon-helge8233]

Fantastic build hev,but where is the finale truck vlog. Jon from Norway

[@johnhazel7110]

petrol tank battery box use a mini strip hinge and mini rubber catches,should not look out of place, leaving easy access th change the battery

[@stephenmurray5684]

You can get very small rare earth (neodymium) magnets from eBay. They are all sizes from 1mm wide x 0.5mm thick upwards.

[@andisweetland5978]

Coming on nicely Kev, try 2 very thin metal straps, similar to a jubilee clip for the fuel tank/battery case. Stay safe, drive safe #thumbsup

[@1960imp]

Maybe leave the switch outside the tank, to give more space. Put the switch on a chassis side rail?

[@taragoble4300]

Looks mint, top job👍

[@christyler373]

greetings from norfolk black plastic wire tie just a suggestion look great and make the switch out side

[@jelomaxjoiner]

Nice bit of customising, as for the tank can you use some self adhesive velcro .

[@KevTee]

Nice one John, I'll look into it 👍

[@michaelthomas3646]

I think magnets around the join might be a good idea, not sure how you could make it stick to the chassis though, unless magnets, or maybe a piece of plastic, or metal under the chassis frame to the underneath of the battery box/fuel tank just for extra rigidity. maybe if you have got a broken keyboard or something that you are throwing away break it apart and use some of the keyboard casing for the support. or 3d print something if you got a 3d printer. the truck is looking great though, didn't think the cab interior would be just 1 episode, thought it would be split into at least 2, just to get to the point at the end of this video.

[@Taylors_Adventures]

Watching this is amazing content just an idea what about making a little number plate to go in window screen

[@johnbradley4671]

Magnet Expert do some small 1mm dia x 1mm thick that I think would help with the fuel tank/battery compartment Kev they are very small so would need to use tweezers to fit them in. As you have a vice drill it should be easy to make the hole in each corner of the tank for them.

[@KevTee]

Thanks John, much appreciated, I'll look into it t

[@Mr60059]

Hi Kev , Now your talking A nice Cuppa and Jaffa Cakes NICEEE !!! Wow mate the truck is really cracking on now , And that interior is really Ace mate . the truck is going to look really great when finished . What next a Nice curtainsider trailer ?

[@KevTee]

Cheers Andrew glad your enjoying the build. I was thinking a nice log trailer 😁

[@Mr60059]

@@KevTee Wow that would be a Very interesting Build , As for your little problem of the Battery Box , An Idea as come to my mind As you say Magnets But what about Magnetic strip , Those that are simular to a fridge Door .

[@jamesmarriott3667]

Hi keV, you could try some thin metal band around the fuel tank , have a great weekend with the family and take care stay safe and drive carefully 👍👍👍

[@rarejer]

Well, sir, I guess there is no final part, part 9? I can't find it, and was hoping for your experience with the external body. Keep on truckin'!

[@KevTee]

It will come Jerry, unfortunately I starting the model through lockdown and now everything if becoming a little more normal it's tough finding the time to work on the model but it will be completed at some point 😊

[@carneyalan]

I have not read all the comments below so not sure if this was asked already, but how are you planning to close the fuel tank? That is I am wondering about having the ability to open the fuel tank to replace the battery when needed. Surely you dont want to have to break the glue each time. But great to see another video on this had missed them. Love all your Vlogs, both trucking and model building. Keep em coming, lad.

[@carneyalan]

Ok. Maybe I should have watched the full video before asking the question ....... LOL!!!!!

[@KevTee]

Haha I thought that might of been the case 😂

[@18robsmith]

Those headlamps are nearly as bright as those on the real thing ;-)

[@KevTee]

Yeah they are pretty bright 😁

[@S14hmt]

Hi bud , did you do a part 9?

[@andreweaton9502]

top one kev cheeeeerrrrsssss

[@truckenthusiastpappayorke5750]

@KevTee wondering on the electrics how do you replace the battery do you keep the fuel tank open?

[@nicolasummers4746]

black elastic band, or strip magnets would prob work for the tank

[@kennethharper8417]

great work kev! the model is really taking shape. I have an eye dear you could try some really small or tiny hinges for the fuel tank kev?

[@KevTee]

Cheers mate, I'll look into tiny hinge's 👍

[@kennethharper8417]

@@KevTee that's ok kev. glad to be a help. let me know how you get on mate?

[@davidwillemaerts3953]

Never heard of a panelline wash?

[@Astonvanquishs]

maybe put a little hinge in the tank on one side and on the other a little hook to keep it closed

[@Tank_The_Trucker]

Have you got the next video out as I can't find it 🙈

[@altypeRR]

Little self adhesive neodymium magnets. You can buy them on amazon.

[@garynewcombe1951]

Did you finish the italeri model ? I watched all 8 episodes but haven't seen the finished article.

[@peterbarker6249]

Great job ! You sure you haven't done this before ?

[@chrisgarnett2372]

Everything has been good..... But I think that you the Union Flag up-side-down...... Broad white should be at the top where it fastens to the pole..

[@nickchapman7989]

Hi did u use tamiya spray to paint the body work if so which did u use

[@stevebishop4573]

Kev, what colour did you use for unit? book say cool gray ral7015

[@1960imp]

Battery, etc., in the fuel tank is going to be tight with the wires as well, I suspect.

[@adamhearty4372]

You should buy a light bar for the roof

[@rossbrown5446]

On your Volvo build part 8, who's playing the slide guitar?

[@exileinderby51]

Looks great. Just a suggestion, can you not leave the driver's door open? Hope you're keeping well.

[@coreconceptz]

Finish him, Kev!

[@TonyH-8208]

Maybe a rechargeable 9v battery?

[@LegendRockPlot]

where did yuo get the paints

[@jimgemmell2831]

Definitely looking great now. As for the battery and the tank, a narrow cable tie, or similar, placed over the silver tank straps? Anyway, whichever way you go with it, eagerly awaiting the finished product now. 👍👍👍👍

[@rastyczech9902]

Hello, I will buy this model, but website where i want bought don't have colour on truck(metallic gray), what color have you got ?

[@scottsabin2245]

What’s happened to the last video of it all done have I missed something

[@nigelbroster5577]

Looking great Kev but 1 thing u let me down on though is that u would of done a conversion to right hand drive lol 😂

[@KevTee]

I'm not that brave yet 😂

[@jbbumpkin]

? Velcro the battery to the back of the tank then Velcro the front half to the battery?

[@KevTee]

Nice, good idea 👌

[@Dansdrone1980]

So are they a cake or a biscuit 🍪 ??? 😂😂😂😂

[@KevTee]

They don't hang around long enough for me to care 😂😂

how about some falco gary from crewe
