description  Quickly sanded the bonded roof top and I think I have got the shape I want. I haven't used any filler on the roof yet, I try to use as much bonded ABS as possible to reduce the chance of any epoxy putty I will use as filler cracking with rough use. All roof panels were chopped out of the King Hauler sleeper unit. The cuts were very hit and miss (did I do that?) as I didn't know what I was doing at the time! I could have made the M813 into a canvas top but seeing whether or not a new roof could be made up from Tamiya parts intrigued me. If it didn't work out I could always convert it to a canvas top... maybe even both? But I'm happy with this. What do you think? Mudguards next...
