Next Project ?
Next Project ?
Bought this to have a go at a transporter, want to extend the trailer etc, its a little too large in scale especially with bigger tanks but wont look too bad with a Stug or Panzer 3. Cab moulding is very good for what is a toy, need to work out how to make a windscreen. Looking at most other (more expensive r/c) trucks it seems most people opt for the shiny as opposed to the weathered look.
Re: Next Project ?
Nice a coat of green paint to make it look ok would go down a treat.
I bought a stretched Brudder trailer off ebay to put my leo on it at meets and I am also waiting for the Tamiya tractor unit kit that I bought off ebay to arrive from HK

Kids are now convinced Dads losing it buying big 'plastic toys' !! Havin said that, I think it has potential and looks decent for the money.

Re: Next Project ?
Yes I've seen the Mack, when funds allow . . . . Did also think of 4 axle dump truck or the 4 axle mixer, thought of taking the body off and putting the 'fifth wheel' coupling onto the longer chassis to create a more heavy weight transporter . . . . so many ideas and so little time !!
