Archer Atomic Defense Truck...Repair...Restoration?

Recommended Posts

I'm currently working to install LEDs although the original was lit with an incandescent bulb; it's pretty clunky on the inside, trying to get everything to fit, but it won't be seen and it'll get the job done. I haven't used my airbrush for many years so I'm also gathering materials and trying to learn about acrylic paints before I start painting; I definitely prefer building over painting!

 

The black knob at the rear is a plunger that pushes on the internal microswitch for the LED circuit, the original seems to have had a rotary-type mechanism.

Still lots of work needed at the front and rear of the "Atomic Siren Mk II."
