You're off to a good start.

When you go to install the interior, the sleeper is a tight fit - I like to leave the sleeper floor out, install the main interior, then trim the sleeper tub section to fit. Somewhere along the lines the part "grew" and causes a fit issue.

Test fit several times before comitting yourself to the install.

I can vouch for that- test fit, test fit, test fit, when you are building the AMT White Freightliner DD!

i started the interior today...still have to do the detail work, but so far it seems to come alone nicely...

any advice on getting the gap on the cab halves gone?
