Hey now I understand the Gun metal choice ...
Great work on this Pan car

Finally, he also modeled all the exterior body accessories. And you can see below the version of the Hirobo Hilux 44B I made.

First mounting of the wheels on the car.
The result of 3D printing the radio box and first assembly on the chassis.

Hello,

Yes, a very good work of @silvertriple on this Hirobo.
In this picture my 3d print of radio box 44b from @silvertriple.
I'm not good with the 3d Print, but it's a good way for next.
Thank you so much.

Good choice and perfect look for this 44B

Hello everyone,
Thank you for welcoming me to your forum.
I'm in France.
After a long break from modeling, I'm taking up radio controls with vintage cars.
I worked on a Hirobo 44b. And I'm working on a Kyosho Optima.
I will post pictures soon.
THANKS.
