Well after 4 months work she is finally finished !

Stripped back to the original plastic, rubbed down with 600g wet and dry, primed and rubbed down 3 times then painted and rubbed down 3 more times to get smooth flat shiny finish, custom decals printed from copys of the originals and fitted.

She really does look fine, this model has never seen tarmac or run, the motor and gearbox have not been re-fitted yet due to extra weight making flat spots on rear tyres.

I have loads of left overs inc a spare main body (blue section only)broken rear fin, just to much to list.

Now all done she has to be sold to fund further project so anyone intrested mail me your offer !! :)
Drive it like you stole it !

Nice resto!
To avoid flat spots let it stand on some kind of blocks, lifting the wheels off the ground.

You've got to love these six- wheelers, they look awesome.

Nice detail on te tires. (Isn't the P34 instead of P38?)
