Cool idea! Are those Kibri Cars hard to build?

The Kibri cars are not hard to build, everything fits perfectly. They are not very detailed but I like that part so I can make the company specific changes or adding hoses or lights. I changed those cars to narrow gauge.

Hi

Although Kibri 26250 is a finished and ready to use model (probably a new strategy from Viessmann/Kibri), the Kibri models do not required any expertise or skill to be built.
I personally like to paint them before assembly, but it's not necessary.
The problem with Kibri models is the decal sheet.
I always produce my own decals, and I never use Kibri decals.

Thanks.

Thanks for the reply! I may try to build one by myself.

Hi Roland,

Very nice models indeed!
BTW, what did you use to represent the black cables on Plasser USP 2000 SWS (Kibri 16060)?
Can you post a more detailed photos to see where those cables are connected?


Thanks in advance.

I used solid black electric wire, maybe around 30awg.
This is the website I got the information for the cables. As you can see, I did about 10% of all the cables. I should have used thinner wires since I ran out of room on some parts.
