I have nothing against customizing models but when looking at the tri drive conversion the rear mud guards look terrible. Also where is the pin striping around the middle wheel arch on the Membrey 5 axle trailer conversion. If you’re going to do it, do it properly. The black model yeah go for it but I don’t know why anyone would destroy the other limited edition model that will be worth something in a few years time when you look at the resale value of some of the other Drake limited releases.
