Fantastic work! The added details are really stunning.

As to the old verlinden receiver you have fitted to the chassis, I assume thats just there to represent a battery or something?

Concerning the old verlinden radio, yes you are right, according to the TM see the upper post there is a piece similar in shape as the radio, in order to not waste time I used it.

But it is not exactly the same, I can remove it but I need ref pics guys. Please help me.
There are a lot of discrepancy in the Trumpy kit.

Thanks for the comments

Cheers
Seb

Looks ok to me Seb, unless this part will actually be visible on the finished model I wouldnt get to hung up on it.

Also, where did you find the tech manual for the M1078?

On tpub.com but you need to check the TM pages by pages and the small box will not be really visible at the end of the build.
