hotrod192 Posted April 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 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.

bluegreen Posted April 14, 2012 Report Share Posted April 14, 2012 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
