Thanks Tom. The colour is different. The WPL comes in a grey and a yellow. Also the decal. Too bad about the "Military Truck". The WPL one you can almost leave on. This one you have to spray over for sure.

That looks really good, Tom. Did you paint that, or did it come like that? It looks way better than those blue trucks I've seen. So far I've only gotten the Khaki truck and I'm still waiting for the green one.

I've been lucky enough to get a couple of these Heng long trucks from Dave ( forgebear ) great service as usual, I've made a start on the conversion already, extended the rear chassis and added the extra axel, got it to run as a 6x6 as well, I've put an esc and mini servo in it and a sound modulation unit, ive also added a pic of the truck I'm aiming to get it looking like,
Cheers, Lee.

Lee that's exactly what I wanted to do ! Did you kit bashed two together using the transfer cases ? All original parts right ? What is your plan for the cab ? I was thinking of cutting it where the wheel well ends and out two together so there is a large wheel well for the two sets of rear tires.
Great stuff.

Hi Michael, yes I bought 2 trucks and used the 1 of them for the parts I need, I'm going to scratch build the whole rear cargo bed including the canvas, I used the transfer case, gear and shaft from the doner front axel and put it onto the centre rear axle transfer box to give drive to the rear most axel, I'm not sure about the cab yet, I'm pretty happy with the way that is
Cheers, Lee.
