lightningtiger Posted January 23, 2013 As I haven't used wheel arches it does look higher. The rear is the standard height while the front is raised one plate (good spotting). The cabinets are standard height as other sets including 3179 repair truck http://www.brickset....ail/?Set=3179-1 Also if you think that is high you should see the nsw RFS tankers. They are huge but are baed on the same truck chassis. I haven't made any changes yet..... I might not need to change any thing.....what does everyone think ?

lightningtiger Posted January 23, 2013 I love it! Thanks 'monsinjor' , I feel the height doesn't need to change as you don't want tools hitting you in the head even if you are wearing a helmet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
monsinjor Posted January 24, 2013 No one want's that, to be hitted in the head. Well actually, maybe someone wants but that kind of people are already in the appropriate mental institutions. Hehehehe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Faefrost Posted January 27, 2013 The striping looks real impressive on it. And the extra plate height over the wheels gives it just that touch of an off road feel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

coghilla Posted February 6, 2013 Here is a photo of a firie accessing the locker on my tanker. It is the same height as the cabinets on most standard lego trucks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
