Now looking forward to when they arrive.

Hopefully the Christmas money will be put towards a few more as i want to make a 6x6 & possibly a 8x8!
Any word on the 6x6 WPL release?

It was predicted to be Christmas/New Year for the 6x6, but if the availability of the Gaz is anything to go by, I wouldn't bet my life on it.

Woooohoooo. Mines have been shipped

Hi,

Mine since 7th November was on the pipe and the status changed this morning too, so I don't think I would have it before new year...

Me, too.

Shipped 20th.
Arrived today (UK) 27th.
A few slapdash assembly issues but works 'as is'.

Just waiting for smaller Rx'es from Banggood to continue the conversion on the M35 then will convert this in the new year.

Belated Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year to all.

Army green one arrived but the blue one obviously split delivery not arrived yet grrr


On 1st impressions this looks good. I like the way the cab opens. Although it needs finess.
Needs more lighting and wooden planks in back with benches. Also need metal hoops for canopy.

The blue one i reckon I gonna turn into fire truck.

Video later. I think I gonna order another couple in kit form aswell.

Hey, at least you got one of them. I haven't yet heard of any hitting the U.S. yet, including mine.

Don't make me impose that five dollar fine for whinin'.

Already starting the mods, wire frame under construction for a canopy.
Need to cut the doors open aswell! Oh dear that's always a bugger of a job.
I am going to look at making new bumpers and ditching the winch looking thing and replace with a load of rope wrapped around.
The tailgate is getting cut open aswell to be operable, but the rear benches are going to take some thought as they are moulded in to the rear frames.
This does need trailer though so looking at Soviet trailer designs for the GAZ trucks.
Ultimately I am going to target a simpler conversion (I hope)

Few mods just started few hrs ago.
Wooden planks for rear truck bed. Although still need staining and vanishing. Also wire frame for canopy if I do fit one of course. Looks better anyway
