Hi
iam looking to make a m54 truck.
There looks to be a couple of ways of doing it,
Use a lengthened modified afv m35 cab and combine with an italeri 5t truck chassis and body
Get a real models cab conversion fot the italeri 5tonner
Lastly the full real models m54 truck kit.
my question is, is the full kit that much more a better option than getting just the cab set and italeri truck as it costs way more.

Peter,
The full kit is better but more expensive. When you use a cab, you need to adjust the bed and put new wheels.
Here is M54 for GT ( conversion set) step by step.
