Wedico vs Tamiya

[PROBUILDER1964]

I have a question for you guys....I have a project starting and I'm building a Pete with a dynamic aero top cab and sleeper ...Does the Wedico resin top fit the Tamiya kinghauler sleeper top ? Thanks guys !

Nope

But, you can cut the Tamiya sleeper off and change it for a Wedico sleeper, for about $100.00.

would'nt you have to cut the wedico into 4 parts the fill the gap?

I don't know why you would have to cut the Wedico sleeper. Here are a few Tamiya trucks with Wedico sleepers on them.

i thought the wedico sleepers were alot smaller then the kings
next ?? how much would a sleeper like the first pic cost?

[Claus]

Those are all the same sleeper, two of them have the resin walk in roof added to them. Last time I looked those sleeper were $105.00

I have the same sleeper on my Wedico.

If you can find a used one about 100 bucks is it..Im not sure way but the wedico does look better with a tamiya cab then the wedico cab just seam to be better proportioned to each other..

Paul, last time I bought a brand new one it was $105 from PMD, choice of powder coated or raw.
