Johny mf Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 As the topic name says. I started whit the MF8280 from Siku and the cab+platform from a UH 5480. The bonnet off the 8280 is going to be modified to the 8400series bonnet. Here is what I've done so far. Cut the dash off the chassis from the 8280 and 2 peaces off the cabplatform. Also put some Plastic Putty on the bonnet whit plastic card. Here are the Pics how she looks like at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
