WPL GAZ 66 builds. Add yours here :)

[Will01Capri]

I thought I would have a go at customising the GAZ 66 a little. Not gonna cut doors and tailgate for now as that is a mission and a half to pull it off.
Just keeping more simple.
Wood planked in back and stained, rear metal hoops for canvas and Windows. Next job wiper blades and leave it like that. Need to just get a better wood look.

I also have a blue truck with white stripe that I think will suit the fire truck treatment

Blue flashing light for the top and some fire accessories. Ladder to be built. Fire hose and reel.
It's more of a support vehicle for fire service but I do love it

Blue rotating flashing light on order.

The cyano and baking soda trick is amazingly useful to help with supergluing stuff.
