Here's a little tinkering....    I'm not too sure if I'm going to use the Nikko side trim on it as of yet. I picked up some styrene channel that comes close but I eyeballed it and need to get the next size up for the correct width. It looks way more scale and will be easier to fit inder the exo  Here's a 1:1 side pic for ref...  |

That would be a cool build. That's the main reason I picked the G and have been doing the off the wall versions. They are ugly in a good way and the bodies are a "real" glueable (sp?) plastic, not the pvc/abs typical toy body stuff. And the detail is great for a toy body also. It's hard as hell finding some good pictures of them over here, I'm sure with you being in Europe it might be easier. I found a pic for my next G build and cannot find anymore of it as of yet, which I am taking as a good thing |

 , I thought about it, but it had the missing something look to it. I like the original trim, but the only stuff I'm going to use is the cab trim, the rest will be the styrene channel. I'll keep the left overs for spares on the other two. Next time I have to remember to make the tube work not as tight fitting as I did with this one......
