I got this kit as parts for a GB and decided to alter this one also.  I decided on a street version and threw in a couple of changes.  The first major one was wiring it for led's.  I figured if I'm gonna do it, might as well do it right. 

It took me 3 weeks to figure out the circuits for it all; Headlights, High-Beams, Foglights, turn signals.  Then I challenged myself to see if I could also make the rear signals look like an arrowboard you see in construction zones.  What did I get myself into????    So here are some photos.  I have a couple of videos to show the turn signals, but cant figure out to how to post.  Any help would be appreciated. 

I hope you enjoy!  The paint is Gunship Gray.  I put flocking inside to replicate carpet.  I did wire the engine but dont have pics of that yet. 

Any feedback would be appreciated.  This is my second vehicle, normally build helo's and aircraft.
