Thank you my friends for kind words!
Of course I will take it to model show, that starts in two months. I hope I'll be in time.
Let's continue!
For those who will follow my footsteps: bear in mind that exhaust pipes are slightly short from a turbine to left silenser. I was have to join two pipes using 5 min. epoxy with 2mm gap between pipes. This space was covered by a clamp:

Last time I've forgot to show a plumbing to oil warning sensor, speed sensor and clach hose:

There are silensers, air hoses and cab jack rams were added:


Couple general viwes




Now let's make fuel tanks. Here you can see what have I used:

[kilrathy10]

Unbelievable work...Very, very, nice...Nothing I would EVER attempt...

[donkeypuncher76]

extremely impressive Sergey!  Jaw dropping work my friend.

[Wagoneer81]

Sergey, please take this in the good way that I mean it... You, Sir, are a MANIAC!!!  You have more talent nin your little finger than I have in my entire body... Every time I look at this build, it blows me away.  It challenges me to push the envelope of my own skill sets and reach to that next level!  I have a K123 COE that I've started that I'm going to try plumbing and wiring the engine and chassis. This will be a first for me...  Thanks for the inspiration!

[Sergey]

Thank you my friends!
I'm glad to be your inspiration Chris.
Finally the cab with it's full dress:


By the way the pink strip is 2mm short in the upper cab point. Note this fack who will use Jbot decals. I Added pieces from spare.
Fuel tanks and some chassis decals:


Feel free to ask questions.

[baloney]

[raildogg]

Oh man this is pure genius. The art of super detailing has taken a quantum leap here boys. This kind of craftsmanship is why I came to this forum. Sergey, KUDOS man that's one fantsmagoricle model.

[Sergey]

Thank you again, friends!
I'm starting to build live stock trailer and need some help.
Can anyone point me to photos of trailer side door locks. I couldn't get well pictures from a movie.

[White7000]

Hi Sergey! Did you guess the trailer manufacturer? I think something is written on the mud flaps, but can't read what.

Hi Sergey! Did you guess the trailer manufacturer? I think something is written on the mud flaps, but can't read what. 

On the mud flaps written: "American Equipment & Trailer Inc."

[White7000]

Seems to be you are right! Thanks!

[Sergey]

Let's continue. I'll tell you how have I made the trailer. First I wanted to sand off vertical bars outside (lower wall) and glue the new one from inside to make it looks more like the trailer from movie.

It was a year a before. But couple months before I decided to make new side walls. Sheet styrene 0.5 mm was used for this plus evergreen profiles.

There is all that left of kit's side walls:

It was used as a base. To glue it all together I needed a jig. I used Polyvinyl chloride.

Now it's ready to use:

To be continued...

[Sergey]

Let's continue
Dashboard and inside doors

I totaly forgot about the wall between sleeper and driver place when I was widen the tub. I already painted it red when realize my mistake. So I glued pieces of styrene (marked with arrows) to it...

...and applied black rubber band. It suit the style.

Uner wheel switches

Pedals separated and have axle, made form aluminium tube. The gear shift provided with divider. The blanket made of handkerchief.

The cab with tub. The windscreen inserted, moldings painted.

The air intake hose needed space so I was have to trim 10mm of right under cab rail (marked).





Feel free to ask questiones.

That is AWESOME Sergey!!! Noticed though, the air horn lanyard on your truck is by the door frame. Remember in the movie, Pig Pen's was on his left side towards the middle of the cab.
