I have considered that myself, or even filing off the top of the tyre

The worse thing about a build is the fiddly bits that crop up as with the interior, it just seems to take forever.
Kit steering wheel now has a column made from brass tube. Dashboard modified to accommodate the new column using scrap styrene.
Gear stick and handbrake are from the Viper kit.

Another bucket list kit for a good price and my first £60 kit

I saw one of those going down the M6, near Keele Services. It sounded awesome!

Nigel Chapman
Yeah, there are quite a few old and new T-cabs about the UK - can't beat the that Scania v8 sound

Waiting for paint to dry on my other two builds so turning my attention to the G Wagon.
So far it's been mods to the axle stubs to accept the option wheels from the Studebaker Raceliner.
After some drilling and sanding, all the wheels will now locate and attach to the chassis.
Pieces of Evergreen 4.8 mm tube have also been added to the rear stubs for extra strength and a more meaty look.
Brass 1 mm rod and 2 my tube have been used to make adapters for the rear wheels.
1 mm rod will be used for the fronts.

Nigel Chapman
Managed to break the rear axle stubs on the chassis already (!) so drilled out a new 1 mm hole in the rear axle and adapted the rear wheels to fit accordingly with Evergreen tubing and 1mm brass rod.
Mods to the floor pan to accept the rear chassis completed.
Both front and rear Iceman chassis pieces attach via "slots" so you either add or in my case remove material for the perfect fit. Absolute genius.
First test fit looks god but I want the front end slightly higher.

Well done my friend. I have been following for quite some time. I am impressed with all the effort you have given it. You have way more imagination than I have.

Nigel Chapman
Thanks Bill

Another bucket list kit - all original and complete with just the engine block glued together .

Nigel Chapman
My first ever £50 kit for my birthday. Original unbuilt condition apart from one assembled wheel. What a bargain!

Carlos Proença

I always fancied the tanker, from this kit, for a future build I have. Keen to see how this one builds up, Nigel.

Nigel Chapman
Hey Bozzer, these are really nice kits, well packaged with highly detailed parts . I would say they are on par with Meng for quality.
I got both of mine for good prices though I have seen them anywhere between £30-50.
You should know me by now it's never going to be box stock! Plans are in the pipeline.

Bozzer
I know you well enough, to look out for your future builds!
I'm still trying to find a balance between my spare time and modelling. There's so much to do, but no time to get it done? Hence why I'm trying to get my incomplete builds finished. I've condensed a lot of boxes, but there's still a shed load more.
