My Modifications


Recommended Posts

  • Triplevalve changed the title to My Modifications

Slowly plodding along with several tweaks ongoing.

Reformed the radiator and replaced the engine front support beam. Also enlarging the wheel well which will needed to be painted red. 

Repainted the cab with a different brown and fitted a "mat" under the steering column.

Started to paint the window frames black, but not going too far until the widows arrive in the next pack.

New handbrake gaiter and removed the seat fixture.

I intend to fit the seat onto the front wall.

What did you use to replace the front engine mount.  The originally supplied one prevent the steering arm given left lock.

Taffy

I just made up a new mount with plasticard to look more like the original.

It's purely cosmetic but does support the engine.

However, it still stops the steering arm as noted in the other threads/posts.

I am not sure if there is/was a fix when the model was originally released.

Lower saloon progress.

Painted the floor to darken it a tad and also scored in some extra slats.

Also scored the outline for the gearbox trapdoor.

The brown looks a little odd due to the flash.

Painted the seat frames and filled the screw holes on the seat back cushions.

Painted the coving at the bottom of the sidewalls silver.
