big ford ready to rumble!!!
Well as this truck has taken ages to build decided i could not let it get to a stage of virtual completion without some goodies. So here is the nearly completed truck with the full option flat-bed trailer fitted with electric legs and lighting kit and the rig has the MFU unit fitted and got to say how impressed i am with these rigs when they have all options fitted, really superb with the lights and sounds . It is at this point i need to thank three tamiya club members - firstly TeeForce who provided me with the missing exhaust stack brace (never did find the missing one???) so cheers buddy, secondly tamiya.kev who i know alot of you guys have dealed with and really is a nice guy - bought the trailer off him and he personally delivered it in excellent condition with the added bonus of the logs thrown in (oak if i remember kev???) . And lastly the brilliant MFU was purchased from Rich (AKA BiggusDitchus) another top bloke who sent this unit in perfect condition- sourcing all the correct aeromax fittings and posting them too- real gent so thanks Rich,Kev and Tee , all these guys have made me very glad to be a member on this club and this great kit is nearly complete thanks to their help. As you can tell have decided on the TS-40 metallic black for the cab and think it suits well- the skirts i have decided on either silver or a dk grey??? bumper will be silver. Also have some dolls house carpet coming via my wonderful girlfriend and hope to have that fitted by next week, along with an internal cab light and maybe some inner door panels too!! . Have loved this project and hope you enjoy my progress so far, coments please guys and kev,rich and tee my big thanks . Regards justin
