Concerning the fenders on the Fritz-Homann delivery truck: I must acknowledge
that I've seen these hinge pieces used for fenders by others. From memory,
I recall Eric Brok and Bram Lambrecht (spelling?) uses the 1x5 stud 1 plate
think hinges for fenders. I think others have done this, too, and this fender
design does work well for some models.
On another fender:
I wish that the standard "car fender" piece, which is 4 studs wide, were split
into halves. With the piece split, offering individual fenders per wheel, one
could use the standard fender piece for 6 stud wide vehicles.
I wish the "airplane nose slopes" and hinged fuselage roof pieces were split
into two halves, as well, for the same reason as the fenders. I think the
pieces would have many more potential uses if they were split in two. Would
need a new special slope piece to fill in the gap for greater than 4 stud
applications, though.
Anyway....

| Great job, James! I like the truck. The fenders really set it off. I love the DB 74 loco. The rounded top is excellent! Do you remember in which kit you got the yellow 4x4 radar dish? Joe (...) (25 years ago, 13-May-99, to lugnet.trains)
