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.

what did you use to make the cb areials??

0.32mm galvanised florist wire.you can get loads of sizes of reels of wire in craft shops 28 or 30 gauge are good sizes.

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 :)
