Default A Different Vega Body
Dont get me wrong.. im no fan of forward cab shells, but this i reeeally like this, As I'm aware this is the first one that's been painted up, let me know what you think.
Bring back the frog!

Arrow cab forward vega
Well I love it. I think the vega survives extremely well with very unusual shells as the stock one is a very unconventional shape. Personally I'd run this just to have a really different look. Make me one and ill rock it

The frog is brill! I'm unsure of the condition of the mould for it though Mark this was just one that was around the workshop!, I also never saw Mr.Lee's! This isn't the first painted one then anyway that's forward cab, any thoughts on this as a standard cab body? (I didnt make this mould! Posted on behalf of a friend )

I think if the cab forward body was a little more flowing and less boxy upfront it would be outstanding..
