foundationsedge Posted August 12, 2013 Posted August 12, 2013 (edited) excellent mods, have the auslowe conversion myself, working on a tri drive with the Detroit from the italeri pete kit, you,ve done a great job on the hood conversion Edited August 12, 2013 by foundationsedge
Jürgen M. Posted May 14 Posted May 14 Looks nice! I love aussie trucks! Great job! I built the Italeri Western Star road train myself. It's the only kit I know of that has right hand drive. Only the cast in wipers are the wrong way!
