Awesome SUV, BB! I actually had to google the real 4878 to know the difference, your additions fit so right.  :)
Will you get rid of the rockets? Or do you have a special use for these?

Yeah, I did the same thing! The additions fit in so seamlessly, it looks like they're supposed to be there!

Thank you A.! I am not using the large satellite, but the 4 small side door rockets are being used for weather probes that the real life Storm Chasers actually deploy into a tornado to obtain critical weather data, so as they are shown in the pictures is the way they will stay :). I'm trying to continue to customize current projects like the 3526 Fire Engine customs that I have done in the past, so they can be returned to their original form very easily.

This is an excellent project Bill. You're doing a great job. Now I want a full size one, though maybe that's a little overkill out here where we only have maybe one mini tornado every decade or so.  :lol:

Thank you Tim! bb & I were discussing this custom a while back when the TV show Storm Chasers was actually on TV & we were watching it at the same time! The idea just hit me, & finally when I was able to get 2 4878's, I've never looked back :lol:! Now, if I can just get some permanent DS parts, I'd like to stop stealing things from my other sets :P!
