hotrod192 Posted May 4, 2012 Author Share Posted May 4, 2012 the interior is painted and started feeding all the wires through to the inside of the chassis under the cab ready to start connecting to the switches and battery holders,this has been a wiring nightmare due to all the lights.

hotrod192 Posted May 5, 2012 Author Share Posted May 5, 2012 Looking good so far and Siku are nice models to work on arent they. yes they give you a good solid base to work with. switches and battery holders are now wired. it took a bit of time tucking in all the wires and battery holders,placed the switches in and drilled the holles under the model for them then got it all back together. now its time to weather it but do i make it a little bit dusty or really muddy?im thinking about making a display plinth/diorama for this one.
