Question Will a Wedico tri-axle wrecker "crane" fit Tamiya?

Hi guys,

Serious question. I understand that Wedico and Tamiya are not interchangeable, but does anyone have experience with adding a Wedico tri-axle wrecker body to a Tamiya frame or a Tamiya body to a Wedico Triaxle frame?

Yes it can fit you 24-6mm wider than standard I made to fill in pieces from plastic card the other issue is the wheel arches do not line up so either you need to cut the stock sides or re do them in plastic sheet which would allow the addition of more details storage boxes etc....

just took these shots with detail of where and I use 2.5 m thick sheet and added some 1/4 sq tube from evergreen plastic to strengthen the side and create a good mount point for new sides..
