SRB Kubelwagen
What with the bad weather (can't spray bodyshells) and waiting on machining, I was at at bit of a loose end so I needed something to do........ This is the result; one Revell 1/9 Kubelwagen kit and a bit of time results in an SRB that's a bit different. :-) . The body's the easy bit, the chassis will need lengthening by about 15mm and the track needs narrowing by about 15mm. One good thing is that the tyres from the kit fit Rough Rider wheels, and with a bit of fettling can be made to look OK with the addition of bits from the kit. I reckon there's room for the servo reciever and speed controller under the front and room for a custon battery pack in the back; so full interior here we come! I could really do with a pair of early (twin bearing) rear arms, so if anyones got some.......... Anyway, what do you think ??
