I was thinking of using the Xsara wheels , but the original wheels on the green MK2 look better , Rapid 3dr do you have a spare set lying around ?

Thats a good idea , its a budget build but quality won't be skimped on ! i will try and replace as much over scale parts as i can with true 1 18 items.
made this about 2 years ago 1 / 6th scale..full radio control nearly 3ft long ! Custom made figures , and the whole tank airbrushed ..

he wanted to do something similar to the one we are using on our ebay page!
early stages yet but he has big plans for it including lighting.
i have just ordered the perspex for the glass and have got to start the frame work for the windows and doors .
he even decided to leave a hole in the rear wall for a roller shutter which he says has to be motorised...lol

Even tho I made bit of a profit on one of them I still don't seem to make what all the others do!!!! It's proper weird
And someone is selling them direct from Germany now, but if u keep hold of them til there all sold out that wld be a good idea
