Hello all,

This is my first post on Tamiya club.com. Boy, did I struggle to get myself set up!!

I've recently been bitten by the bug of 1/14 truck modelling, and have built a Semi trailer, and have nearly finished a scania R470. As I want to build this truck as a British hauler, I thought I'd convert the dash to RHD.

Here's a couple of pics.

And in primer...

Here are the body parts in primer. I still haven't decided on a colour scheme yet...

Thanks for looking... Any advice on cool schemes would be appreciated..

I was thinking the same thing, but trying to paint the Stobart logo would be a nightmare!! Does anyone produce 1/14th scale decals ??

Screenprintdigital on eBay has a lot of different decals for different liveries. I didn't see any Eddie Stobart ones though.

They have a webshop for RC car stickers at http://www.rccarstickers.com
The truck and trailer graphics are at http://www.rccarstic...cks1/4546598322

Nice conversion of the dashboard! Will you be converting the wipers to RHD-type too?
