Looking smart, regarding the marge one you did, i believe i have it in my collection, reg number A915 LTT on it im pretty sure it came from you? If you'd like it back and it is yours i'd happily sell it back to its rightful home. 122492346_771069530119474_2364925483678910630_n.thumb.jpg.a0577e1759a34875812137516bfd1383.jpg122482944_1327251730951717_4763227165785991429_n.thumb.jpg.daeb2c51e346ac9fed925194d7969d28.jpg

The cab roof on the UH seems to look too big for the cab itself compared to the Marge and the rear rims are also too big considering they came from the 7810..but then the bonnet and decals look better on the UH and so does the front axle vs the orginal Marge axle with mudguards(not the one above ) both have their ups and downs, but I would be favouring the Marge in my view overall.

Its turned out well Paul, and a nice touch with the removable wheel weights...................my problem with the entire Univrsal Hobbies MF7600-7700 UH models is the middle cab post looks too wide! This is because UH in their wisdom decided to detail black etching all around the edge of the cabs glass, spoiled the look of the model for me. However the S style bonnet is very nice:)

thanks Joe,the rear wheel weights come off very easily,but leave a bit of glue residue on the rims,but i sanded that off

It does look a lot better without them, even reduced to one would have been something as per Phil's conversion.  Never mind now though!
