Re: Project : Petico (Pepe Le Pew) it's gettin deep
thanks guys , Craig the wedico flaws : 1st) out of proportion except for the cab it self . It "seems" to me the scale is all over the place . the cab matches the tamiya king hauler cab in dimensions virtually perfect . 2nd ) price , you pay a lot for what you get . 3rd) mods are not as easy like the poly bodies of the tamiya ( you screw a tamy body up your out at most $50.00 . OTOH you screw a wedi up your out
But as the ol adage goes " to each his own "
Me , I hammered metals from the 1st time I could hold a "hammer" (not a watch makers 1 either
) I rebuilt a ton of old IH cabs
. them panels you just can't get off the shelf . nuff about wedico verses tamiya
this truck was supposed to be a runabout **** hauler now it's turning into a shinny **** hauler
I'm even gona count rivets
After passing a pete 379 sittin for sale all week I realized I screwed up on the hood
well all fixed now with the sides on
some comparison pics with the king hauler
thanks for lookin
