Morning all,

Been a while since I posted on the truck but I have been doing a little work on it in the background. I wasn't completely sold on the look of the original cab as I wanted something more ww2 ish so in stepped Wayne ( midlife306 ) and made me a basic deuce cab, I then started to modify it by getting it to fit over the heng long chassis and cutting the original doors off and replaced them with the one's in the pics. I'm going with a canvas covered roof which I've just roughly put on at the moment and will be glued in place when I'm happy with it all, I've got a bit more work with tidying it up and detailing then it will be ready for priming and painting, the rest of the setup is the same as in my previous posts, the last picture is what I'm hoping it will end up looking like :thumbup:

Cheers, Lee. ImageImageImageImageImage

The cab for the blitz was also made for me by Wayne ( midlife306 ) I modified it for the heng long chassis and scratch built the cargo bed and other items, I also have a thread showing the build stages of it too :thumbup:
