ozzyo Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 Brian, is the cab roof that's wrong? or is it the body roof that's wrong? Looking at some photos of a BD I would say that its the body roof that looks wrong, a lot more work to put right, but hey that the game we are in . OzzyO.

F-UnitMad Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 One of todays jobs ... if the rest of the kit is anything to go by this will take all day with a lot of banging of my head Yep, that sounds like a Steve Beattie kit alright... and your following pictures demonstrate that fact too. 10/10 for taking that kit on in the first place!!!

ozzyo Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 Hello Brian, if you were to build up the cab roof to the body shell roof you may end up with the wrong shape over the cab windows! That would make the whole front end look wrong, is it possible that the nose is to lowdown or that the window frame's are the wrong shape. The window frames look pretty good to me. Some thing is wrong and I dont think that it's your build. OzzyO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
