The engine looks very nice. Too bad most of it gets covored under the cab once installed though.

Looks great Milo. For "softskins" such as this I would spend the money, I hate empty frame rails.


cheers

It is very easy to see under the cabin, but may use parts No. K4, which does not belong there anyway. After my conversion can not be used.

Your Truck looks very very very good Milo. Would you like build another M1070 with the CPK or is this the first and last?

Milo,
engine looks great installed, can`t wait for mine to arrive.
Just one question, and it is not a critisism so please don`t think so.
Should there be an air cleaner somewhere under the bonnet, and if so where would it go?

regards,
Mick

Thanks for such a quick reply Milo,
Will you be putting those parts up for sale as well, if so, will it be as another set?
Sorry to be a pain wth all the questions, but when you do such superb work, I suppose it comes with the teritory.
Regards again,
Mick

Milo;
Not that Hobbyboss is having any trouble selling these kits, but maybe they should consider having you do some box photos for them. Superb! And that engine looks awesome, so much so that I am actually considering getting one of those. Cheers.

Yesterday I finished the engine and put on the cab frame. Today I add last two parts to engine, exhaust pipes.
Now I can start CPK PE set and Interior set prepare for my second model.

Well, all I can say is...WOW!!!

That looks amazing there Milo!!!

I'm glad to hear you'll be making a CPK set as that is exactly what I want for mine. As soon as I recieve my engine set, I'm gonna park up the oh so tricky MRAP, and build my 1070.

I must aslo mention that all your water boxes and cool box gives life to the model. Well done!!!

Thank you for the compliment. I hope that CPK is as great as the engine.
