Does such a ldraw model exist yet? I saw plenty of supercars and old technic
sets but no 8868 or 8862.

If not, I may attempt to create a ldraw file of the 8868 truck once I get
started with the ldraw utilies.
The pneumatic tubes will probably not be included, though.

Are there any parts from that set that are currently not among the ldraw parts
list, such as wheels, tyres, pneumatic switches, small pneumatic pump &
cylinder?

All the parts for 8868 are available either as official files or on the Parts
Tracker:
http://www.ldraw.org/library/tracker/

Some of the parts for 8862 are not available.

As far as modelling the hoses there are 3 resources available:
LDraw Design Pad's Bendible Object Generator
Kevin Clague's LSynth
Fredrik Glockner's LDraw Major Mode for Emacs

The links to all 3 of the above programs can be found in the download database
on ldraw.org:

Hi Orion,

When I try to look for part 4267 (the big tyres) in the parts tracker, I get
this:

"Library subdirectory must be included in the filename"

I tried it with another more common part and it worked.

I'm sorry, I missed that one when I audited the inventory.  I guess that's the
only part in the set not currently authored.  I don't have that part otherwise
I'd make it for you.  Maybe someone else can?
