got the 3140 all filler primed up this afternoon, and had a look at the 4240s again ,still a bit stuck on that right now, so tinkered with the 3rd build in this lot, will post some pics later when the paints dry,but i do need some help, can anyone help with some pics of the inside roof pannel and sunroof area on a sg2 cab please?? i am guessing a brouchure would have them, i just cant find any shots online, need the area where any vents ect may be, and the area arround the sunroof part to if you can ,feel free to post them up in this topic if you can help

cheers

well heres how the 3140 stands as of tonight, shes all filler primed up, and bar a few minor surface fills is ready for the green, cab still needs work inside and on the roof, so wont paint that right away,

the weights have been sprayed green ready, put them on after the pics for a test fit, and i can now only fit 9 on the frame not 10, amazing how a coat of paint can take space like that

the 4240 rebuild has started, new floor is in place and the supports sorted so it sits level

and no3 has been test fitted ,had a twisted ertl chassis that couldnt be got straight again, so its been cut down, and with luck will become the 2140, i know the base chassis is wrong, but it wont so so much with new frameing on the chassis ect done, otherwise i need a new chassis to cut down again, and these are commanding good money now
