Lightning Expedition

Transplanted the front engine bay and frame from the Revell Ford Lightning into the snap Revell Expedition. There is no real chassis, but made the underside of the interior work best for me as I could.

Thanks:)

I like it! but wheels are too small, maybe you still can change it.

Thanks. I know they're too small lol. But that's on Revell.

Hello Frank,

nice conversion. Could be done in real life as well. As mentioned before, the wheels are (way) too small. Otherwise it looks great.

The Fujimi tires that I could find were they would fit the wheels, that weren't too tall:/

Nice to see this done, looks good.

Thanks man!

wheels are too small.

:iagree:

But great execution. Whats funny is i passed a dropped black explorer on the highway the other day.

Thanks. Lol!!!!!! I know!!!! hahahahahah!!!! We settled on the other forum, it's the tires that are too small. But I could find nothing else I had that worked:/

Looks Cool =) Now you have to start as i have done.. buy wothles cars to get spare wheels ;) And also the Fujimi and Aoshima wheel packages are awesome ;) I only wish there was more offroad wheels out there! Edit: I just got hold of 4 sets of Iroc bogger tires from the So Real trucks! ;) they are gonna sit awesome on my Jeep Grand cherokee and i might even build a Chevy truck as well now :)

Good luck man!

So they did make an SVT of the expedition! I never knew that.
Nice job with the model. I actually think the wheels are alright although a bit small, but afterall it's a truck.

I agree about rims, but thats doesn't demerit your convertion job.
