Jacobus, thanks for the pictures! You don't see finished Fleetstar cabs very often. Your pictures show that this cab can make a very attractive model. Great work!

jurgen , you have almost the same resin kits what i have

the dodge ls1000 must only paint the cab

dodge c900 is al for 5 ore 6 years in the box [ painted yellow ]

mack b61 is somewhere on the list under glass [ long time ago ]

this week i get some new tools for grinding and cutting so thats make it work easyer i think

follow your projects

Jürgen, thanks for the trouble!

 

This is the detailed and meaningful information I was looking for. Obviously most appropriate would be Dodge COE, International and Mack C, but the Dodge cab is presently unavailable and in my view the original Mack C looks a bit odd. Therefore most likely I will start the Fleetstar but I am not yet completely determined. The picture of your GMC that chuckyr posted here is soooooo beautiful ......:wub::wub::wub:

 

Anyway thanks again!

This is the cleanest example of this cab I've seen.   The windshield install is superb.  The interior details are top notch.

 

Well done !!
