About this creation










Not posted anything for a while, so here is some modifications I have made to this excellent set, It was completely stripped down rebuilt, I have added a second differential, which was not easy to do for a start, that means the lifting cylinder had to be remounted, also was a bigger engine, a V10 which fills the void better than that tiny V6, also some minor mods to the wing mirror mounts and top silencer mounts, which are slightly better than std, the exhaust stacks were a bit fragile.
PS, yes I know the diffs are a different shade of grade, but you do not notice them when the truck is the right way up.

Hi kenneth. I don’t have this set but I can clearly see your improvements. The additional diff must have been a challenge. 50 shades of differential grey ;)
