Pertamina is the biggest state-owned corporation (BUMN) in Indonesia. It is an oil company which has 7 oil-mill and focusing its trade in Energy and Petrochemical. Divided into 2 sector,there are sektor hulu ("upper sector" that run exploration and exploitation of oil, gas, and geothermal) and sektor hilir ("lower sector" which distribute all Pertamina's products into consumer). The Pertamina oil trucks, i believe, are playing an important role in distributing one of Pertamina's product (gasoline) to the peoples. It delivers gasoline from Pertamina's oil-mill to thousands gas stations in Indonesia and can be seen easily on the street. Can be seen easily on the street doesnt mean that can get the references easier. On the internet, the references are minimum, and either the photos. So, i had to take the photos by myself and do some litlle reserach :D.

Based on Mitsubishi Fuso FN 517 ML

This Pertamina Oil Truck Papercraft was based on Mitsubishi FUSO Truck, precisely Mitsubishi FUSO FN 517 ML. It can hold 16000 L of gasoline and have 6 tyres (i think it has 10 tyres, 8 of them are on rear end). I tried to design this model as simple as possible but not to let the details gone. It was challenging thing (to design and to build) because  this model is quite small. You can find fire extinguisher, ladder, countershaft, and rear views in this model. Although it contains some small parts, this model is still easy to build. You only need to pay attention when building the tyres. The standard tyres that i give to you, have wedge shape. It makes the tyres not only more like the real ones, but also more difficult to build. So then, i give you two modes of tyres. The standard ones, and the optional ones. Please use optional ones when you have some difficulties when building the standard ones (see instructions).
