just started this today i have cut out the spot lights ready for leds going in,it will have working flashing beacon.i have cut out the rear window frame and will be cutting out the rear window to open it up.more updates tomorrow.

thats all the cab electrics done,now i need to take the wires down to two battery holders and a small dpdt switch underneath the model.after that its just detailing and weathering.

[hotrod192]

thats the wheels painted i detailed the wheel nuts with gold paint and changed the tyres for something a bit more chunky.then the interior was painted and the command arm and switches detailed.

[hotrod192]

finished off the electrics this morning,they are all hidden inside the chassis all that is sticking out underneath is the little red switch.some small details to finish it off like weathering but should it be just a bit dusty or really dirty?then it will be listed on ebay.

Love the look of the "diesel spill". top work

Nice work buddy, the Siku 8360R is a really good accurate base model and I found it straightforward to upgrade its detailing when doing my conversion.

The lighting trick youve done gives it another added dimension and im sure it will fetch good money on ebay
