got a few in mind steve, both complete kits with compressors etc, ones tanked ones not, 2 guns with each  all the works, if i get it now i will be itching to try it, which the weathers not allowing, so i am biding my time really

only thing i do need to add is a metal angle or flat along the bodys main center beams, i have found that the plasti weld seems to warp the thinner stuff a little which is why the top wont sit right, if i put it on a straight edge then try its fine, thats part of the reason i had to change the bar beam to a one peice , if i use bigger plastic it doesnt look right so i need to find something

neither did i mate, so sort of half built the floor of the bodyto size ,along with chassis and went from there   

where did you see the compresser  kits sean as i am looking for 1
