The truck

Heng Long/WPL are now manufacturing 1/16 scale RC trucks, so it seemed sensible to create a forum area dedicated to the amazing things that members are doing with them. Post your builds, mods, and tips here.

Hi, those wheels were designed by our very own Tiger6, and an a bit modifyed and enlarged by a spanish close friend of mine. I had to send him the files because I have no 3D printer, neither 3D designin skills.
Sorry Tiger6 for the issue, I will tell him to stop making them. But this was more the case of helping a friend than making business.

Right so now all of the wheels are done and on what do we think. I have some door handles to go on but I still need to find some fuel tanks if anyone knows anyone that makes them

The door handles are on. But I still need fuel tanks. Perhaps a bruder tank will do, any way here it is. Next up. Making the number plate and applying the stars using a paint mask designed and supplied by our very own. Rad

The stars are on but I completely screwed the one on the bonnet up so that has to be sanded down and re-painted but otherwise they are ok

Looks good. I can send you more russian stars with the sherman stencils.

Remember to paint first the white star, remove the stencil, and then to paint the red over it.

It is exactly the same as in the tutorial I wrote on my website, but instead of the numbers, stars. Even the colors are the same.
