AJ, that picture doesn't show much with the camouflage paint job, hopefully one of the members that are around these vehicles all the time can either get you a better picture, or carve a quick one out for you themselves, if it isn't to much to it's design.

Now you might be able to use something like a dowel of that size maybe, I'm not sure what design is on it, but if you know, that was just an possible idea.

Thanks kerry, I didn't think of that! I'll give it a try.

I can go back and take a better pic of it, It's a truck in my reserve unit, and I'm the assigned driver for it.

Not to bad so far.
I think the yellow running lights are a bit on the yellow vs. orange side.
Don't forget to weather the inside as much as you weather the outside.

You can use a dowel (as stated) or a piece of a marker top or pen top.

slodder, the amber running lights look amber to me, it might be the flash, but I added another coat of the turn signal amber for good measure. I also weathered the interior as per your suggestion. looks better!

OH yeah!!!, they worked perfectly. , if you notice I took a couple strands of wire, coiled it around a paper clip, and used it as the handset cable.

Yup, same thing I do for the handset wire. Good job.
