| Blue Honcho with a few scratches/rust. First build
Have nearly finished this build now. Electrics to add and perhaps lights. Cut the kit battery tray and dropped it as low as possible. Its now just resting on the radio box lid. R2j front/rear trusses and delrin top links Am also planning on custom sliders and bumper, hopefully Gatekeeper will appear back on here soon and hopefully start building if he's got the time Painted the inside of the shell with silver/black/rust colours and also applied the same technique to the rear bed. Then painted the outside and scratched it up a bit. Wanted the truck to look a bit tattered before it hits the trail Pretty pleased as its my first shot at these. Thanks for looking. |

Just a quick update, Painted the bonnet black, added a few more wear patches and also had a go at my own bungees. They turned out well after a couple of practice attempts. Looking forward to getting it dirty as soon as I organise a meet up with a couple of friends. |

Rok Lox have arrived and fitted them today along with a lil antenna and also some nifty eyelet screws which I fitted in the holes where the bed screws are. Looking forward to its maiden run tomorrow. |

Looks really good! I've been contemplating getting 1.9 Rock Lox, and I think you sold me on them.
