Beer wagon

[popeye]

another part built, pics tell it without too much babbleing from me, , engines from the engine kits, cut out that terrible moulded in sump and clutch these kit makers are so fond of doing,
transmission is mostly from the toyota hilux surf spare parts, and beer and spirits from the gangbusters kits, apart from the barrels that come with this kit, barrel rings are "black chrome" BMF
also used real chain for the flatbed, thanks for looking

This is super fine, popeye! I like the whimsy of this kit, and the added bonus of the gangbusters booze makes it better. Always wondered why they did the engine that way. And the LEDS are primo!!!!!!!!!

Thanks very much for the comments, it was a fun kit to do after doing "stock" builds, this type of kit never appealed to me before but haveing done it i found it good to be able to more or less do what i wanted with it with the view that if i messed it up it could always go in the bin with nothing lost, (got it cheap as a part started off fleabay) ;D i didn't like the original chain drive and the useual molded in transmission, the back axle of from a hilux kit, dash didn't quite come out well and wish i'd done that better, boose is mostly from the old gangbusters kits, springs are from a collection of small springs i tend to hoard, the motor is one of the good old revell parts packs, and loads of tamiya red clear
