allis8550 Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Here by popular request, well Marky and JohnyMF anyway, is the start of my MF 81**. I've used a UH Renault Atles 936RZ chassis, with a modified Britains 6290 cab and floorpan, and a scratch built bonnet. Have added scratch built MF style steps and cut away the Britains cab passenger seat { may try adding a Siku 8280 cab interior }. Have cut out the Britains front screen and replaced it, wiper was in the wrong place for a 81** series, and added hand rails, mirror arms and side lights. That's about it for now.

allis8550 Posted April 3, 2008 Author Share Posted April 3, 2008 Finally got back to this one after a long enforced break, { new kitchen, floors up and replaced, that sort of thing, you know what these women are like }. Got the cab interior in, from a Siku 8280, mounted the cab, bonnet sprayed up and decaled, just the finishing touches to do really, will post a few more pics later.
