When I saw the True Heroes version called the Steel Badger, I knew I wanted it, then found out only one hatch opened. Was very disappointed and was wondering if there's any way to modify it. I finally got it when it went on sale at Toys R Us. I just decided on a whim to go for it and hope for the best.
First thing was remove all the stickers, and then gut out the entire front end. I used a Warthog interior. While everything was in the right relative position to the hatches, the Warthog was wider so I had to cut the interior in half and fit it back together like a jigsaw puzzle I'm really happy how it turned out, but I made one small mistake on one of the hatches. Oh well, it's a very minor thing that isn't too noticeable. I just need to do some more paint apps and add some stickers to it to finish it off. Also need to try to smooth out the edges of the hatches a bit more.

Yeah, I was thinking of doing that if the Warthog interior would not fit. However, I mainly wanted the front end to hold three. I'm just happy the seats line up relatively well.
