PDC Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 Well some of you might remember I was making a model of my truck I drive at work last year. I had to buy two different corgi tractor units then cut the roof off both as Corgi don't do a R cab with a low roof. So I got a 6x4 124 and a 6x2 r420 topline and swap bits about, i also cut out the back window and added the upright exhaust. The truck was sprayed back in October and I was given a set of decals in December (my bosses son commisioned code 3 models to do the same conversion and as part of the deal asked them to supply a set of decals for me) anyway today I remembered I had them and decaled her up when I got home from work :) They also supplied the stickers for the CASE CX130 and the trailer is a Tematoys/ Liontoys model from Nooteboom.
