Hi, I`ve had a Revell Marmon kit a while. I have altered the frame, I`ve used the suspension from the kit & placed the shocks to the outside rear.The tanks will be aluminium tubing. The cab is from a Paystar altered to resemble a marmon cab. More soon Graham.

Hello Graham!
Real aluminium tanks. Chapeau! Great idea, to use a Paystar cab! I also like the "ship dock" (Helling) You use for assambling.

Hi, I`ve used a cat engine thats been in the spares box for years, Detail added from photos, It still has more that will be applied once its fitted in the frame. I have finaly got hold of some etched mesh for the grill so i can now carry on with this build. Groundhog, The end caps are thin ali discs that will be glued on. More soon. Graham.
