Paul Palmer Posted July 16, 2011 Posted July 16, 2011 going to convert,well not really a conversion,i will say change the britains trailer to a mf 200 trailer with the right decals,ive took off the decal that is wrong,i tried to remove the metal lip around the decal,but messed up one body,luckily i had another body spare,the decals will be made by mandy,she doesnt know yet and they will be as the picture,it doesnt look very red in the spraying pictures,its just where i took the photo Quote
Paul Palmer Posted July 16, 2011 Author Posted July 16, 2011 all put back together,just needs decals,i will decal it as a mf 200 series,5 tonner Quote

Lord Ferguson Posted July 17, 2011 Posted July 17, 2011 Looking good Paul... the 760 looks much improved as well I must say.... How about a silver cabbed version as well perhaps Trailer looks good too.. it's a pity you can't get rid of the decal surround.. what about covering the sides in a new layer of thin plasticard and remaking the ribs for yourself ... just a thought.. and bear in mind I have two right hands, in boxing gloves when it comes to model making myself.... and I'm left handed :D Keep up the good work mate and thanks for sharing the pictures - top job Quote
