Post by scoobydie »

Interesting vehicle here, Indiana Jones truck, but with a canvas roof, not plastic, not seen these about before.

I bought one of these in the woolies sale !

canvas back .... never seen a plastic one ?

I wasnt aware there were 2 different ones ?

there is a plastic framework beneath the canvas, however the canvas is very tight fitting and I dont want to take it off because I bought it for my son !

just had a second look, and in some places the canvas appears to be sewn around the frame so may need to be unpicked to remove !

The plastic cover (moulded) is from the first release - it was later changed to a canvas cover for subsequent releases (so yes, two versions)

When confronted by a difficult problem you can solve it more easily by reducing it to the question. How would the Lone Ranger handle this?
