8109 Road Service Truck - My Pictures and Mod

[Paul B Technic]

I purchased and built this yesterday. I have made a mod to the side where one of the red panels covers the area near the motor. I have changed it to allow the panel to open like the other side where the switch is and this area is now used to store some tools like on a real flat bed tilt tray truck. I hope you like. Has anybody else done any mods to this truck as yet?

The truck looks a bit overloaded, or is it just the table that´s over loaded?

The truck appears to handle the weight okay, no broken parts so far :)

I agree,the centre looks like it's bowing like a banana

@ efferman: Your 99-page, 6.5-MB PDF instructions (via SkyDrive) are very well done. Thanks for sharing them!
