スロウライフのすすめ

The slow hobby life to enjoy in a scale model.

Coupler and Kingpin 2

      2022/03/29

9月に入って急に過ごしやすくなったので仕掛途中のキットを進めることにする。

It cooled down in September, so I’ll restart some of the kits in progress.

Thunder ModelのTRCU30は、ほぼ塗装を残すのみ。TRMC30は組立未着手だが、TRCU30だけでも完成には、もう少しかかる。

I started painting TRCU30. However, TRMC30 has not started assembly. Maybe it will take a little more time to complete the TRCU30.1年8カ月ほど放置していたPrivate, Lincolnshire Regiment 1914。スリングは銅板で自作、少し薄かったかな。塗装はいくらやってもきりがない。つくづく観念的な趣味だ。

And I paint “Private, Lincolnshire Regiment 1914” which is more than a year after assembly. The rifle sling was made of copper, but it was a little thin. The painting of the figure is endless. This is an ideological hobby…カプラーとキングピンは第五輪とも呼ばれるトラクターのトレーラーの連結部の要の部品。高価な部品のようだ。

The coupler and kingpin are key parts of the tractor trailer connection, also known as the fifth wheel. I hear that these are very expensive parts.
