1944 WWII Soviet Dual Axle Transport 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.

Just to clarify something, "Imperial Modellbau" and "Hagens Miniatures" can be found on the same site. :thumbup:

Evening all!
Thank you, gentlemen! More work to do, lots of detail and getting the electronics sussed out so I can reassemble the truck to finish up the paint and markings. Then comes the arty!

Good evening, Meatball,
The wheels and tires came from the Forums very own Max-U52. Send him a PM and see what he says. ;o)
