Used parts were on my runner fav, these were stripped of paint and re-used.. battery box still needs stripping further as black paint on the checker plate is proving hard to remove

Worth noting the gun spring is not original, cant justify paying silly money for a spring.. so this one cost nothing (thanks to a retired clothes peg R.I.P)

Possibly box art , beauty of these vehicles is as the full size version depicts , camo paint varies depending on use so have plenty of choices....watch this space !!!
