Paul Palmer Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 the massey conversions are coming thick and fast,here is my next one,siku mf 5455,all stripped down and one of pdc's replacement cabs,so the horrible steering roof beacon can go, i bought this model unboxed from ebay and the previous owner had allready removed the crap front A linkage with a front weight,the wheels will be repainted the correct colour,sapphire grey,as will the roof with smoke grey,cab beacon added and paint the wheel nuts,so a simple convo really,but not doing any more to this today,it is mothers day,so off to my mums in a minute,cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
