The tank ends look great, Steve. Guess we'll have another update on this one in about 6 months? You don't have to follow my lead, when building one of these Wedicos....well make that Wedico/Tamiya hybrid!

OH I just get in these detail moods :eek: and nothing gets done :rolleyes: I'm still trying to decide fender style :confused: stock or go crazy :eek:either way I'm going to make a die of some sort .

plastic on metal :eek::p:p No I decided to go all metal on this . Well short of remaking all the lil plasti parts on the cab it self . Thanks on the rivets

sometime :rolleyes: backed up on orders

Re: Project : Petico (Pepe Le Pew) it's gettin deep

Steve any updates on cross breeding the Tamiya width with the Wedico cab? Sure like too see more.

Re: Project : Petico (Pepe Le Pew) it's gettin deep

That makes two of us that are looking for updates on this one Steve...

Re: Project : Petico (Pepe Le Pew) it's gettin deep

Make me a hood and front fenders, Steve. Seriously, I'd be interested, if you ever got around to offering such parts. :D

The problem as I see it is you need a Huckgun to install em. We use a lot of these in aircraft mods but the gun is like $2K and as far as I know the smallest they make is 3/16"
