Are working vehicular lights even possible on this Mack mixer?


This Ford AeroMax mixer has a "small" sleeper cab and seems to also have the trucks sounds and a cab interior.

Wow, there are more compromises in this hobby than I ever thought before.

What components go under the hood?

Ok, Cosset, let's say I do have to stuff a MFCU into my day cab,
how about neatly pasting or framing pictures of a cab interior with driver right behind the window/windshield glass instead of blacking out the windows? I probably would not even need functional opening cab doors either unless they would be handy to access electronics inside the cab.

Probably the next advancement in RC electronics will be to scale down all the R/C "guts" super tiny/ultra compact to the delight of the dyed-in-the-wool true-scale fanatic.

Houston, we have a "space" problem!!

In theory, however, having simple interior images (maybe holograms???) behind the window glass should still be cheaper than having a detailed painted 3D cab dash, steering wheel, driver figure, gear shift lever, brake pedal, clutch, gas pedal, fan, CB radio and seats.

On scale model passenger cars for trains, simple silhouettes of people are common in windows.
