Decided that since the bits are the same and the painting process might be easier if done together, I thought I would make the start on the third G wagon Started life as the long wheel base Rally MB 230 G Paris Dakar And is going to become one of these I wimped out of doing a soft top short G as I am not sure if I would get the interior right but if anyone has another of these Revell or Italeri kits going cheep I might just pursuade myself to give one a try after these The cut and shut process is fairly basic with nice straight cills to get good measurements on and easy to lay off the right angles from to do the cuts Too late to turn back (either another nice model or more scrap plastic now) And after the cut this should be the shut Option two would be to do a soft top but that will be another time I think Nige

Man, I've been watching all of these that you're doing. That kit looks really cool. I might have to get myself a couple. Great job on all of them by the way!

Very nice!! Interesting conversions. Looks like you know what you are doing and have a plan. I like the modifications, though I would most likely just do them as civilian vehicles!
