Title: Dapol CCT query
Post by: whoppit on June 29, 2022, 10:57:19 PM
Hi, quick query, does the dapol CCT have a removable roof or is it part of the body moulding? Curious to make some staff tool vans
thanks

I did a similar conversion a couple of months ago and I can confirm that by removing the single screw on the base of the van, the chassis and roof can be removed from the body, although the roof does have some small pins ay each end that need pushing out quite carefully. What is not so easy to remove is the glazing, so I just masked that when I did my painting.
