My First Wild Willy M38 Resto

[neo 0]

Well, I bought this Wild Willy M38 LWB from Mark aka Rammer and to be honest it definately wasnt a basket case as a restoration profect. Its my first anyway and so far its been a blast. I have managed to clean it up pretty well so far and thought I would share a few pics.

Looks really clean so far. I look forward to seeing the end result

Thanks So far so good. The main chassis and drive train should be straight forward. Just need to source some good tires and wait for Mr Tamiya to finally sort out his paint supply issue.

Will update with pics as I progress.

Got a bit further this morning. Just waiting for my Acoms AP-227 radio gear to turn up and I will fit it and finish it all off.

Coming along nicely now.

Wow! That looks like a built from a brand new kit. How did you make the black plastics to look so new? Did you repaint it?

A common item thats been mentioned on here with respects to cleaning plastic has been yhe use of "NOVUS" plastic polish. I used the #2 grade of the polish and its come up really well.
