Nice job. Glad it worked out for you so well. What did you think of the conversion?

Hi Jacques;

This conversion is very good, the resin works well and the fits perfectly.

The clear parts fits perfectly without need of glue or extra work.

Great job for SP Designs.

I have more SP Designs conversion on my workbench for future projects.

Regards,
Luis

Great job Mate!

How the wheels fit, is this set designed for Trumpeter?

Does it have the holes or you need to drill?

Thanks,

Adam

Hi Adam,

The wheels are designed for Trumpeter, you dont need drill holes.

You only need cut a litle of plastic in the support of the wheels (in the model).

Thanks, so it should fit without any real issue...

Mine is fully built so I cannot do major modifications... Just found out I want to change the wheel to resin

Cheers, Adam
