KRAUSS MAFFEI /V221 /A-420
A-420 This model has been constructed by us, combining two different models found on the market, the V200 by Roco, (code: 43524) and the V220 by Lima from the hobby series. From the V200 we used the motion mechanism, while from the V220 we used only the lid from which we moved the roof’s holes 5mm to the left and right of their original positions so that it could click on the rest of the mechanism. The engine was painted with sprays of the Greek series, and the cavities in the grids and grills of the sides were emphasized with thin black paint. On the Lima’s lid, holes must be drilled in order to accommodate the handles (shown in the figures), which are provided with the extra accessories provided by Roco. Behind the window situated in the middle of the sides, we glued a small photograph of a panel with instruments we found in an electronic's magazine. Finally, whoever tries to build the engine, will face some difficulty with finding the appropriate lettering needed, because in addition to finding the letter-set needed, it will also have to be blue in color.
