Plastheniker Posted June 29, 2016 Author Posted June 29, 2016 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! (continued) CK-19 Mack LJ grille: acceptable, but replacement would be not too difficult windscreen: plane windscreen frame/weatherstrip: replicated panel lines/gaps: mostly straight but partially reworking necessary wall thickness: medium surface quality: good, but recessed areas around both side windows very poor CK-130 Dodge LS-1000 grille: clean windscreen: plane windscreen frame/weatherstrip: replicated panel lines/gaps: straight wall thickness: medium surface quality: very good CK-7 Mack B-61 grille: acceptable, but minor reworking necessary windscreen: plane windscreen frame/weatherstrip: replicated panel lines/gaps: mostly straight but partially considerable reworking necessary wall thickness: thick surface quality: good, but edges of recessed areas on the rear panel not straight To be continued
Plastheniker Posted June 30, 2016 Author Posted June 30, 2016 (continued) CK-40 Dodge CNT 900/1000 grille: clean windscreen: strongly curved windscreen frame/weatherstrip: missing panel lines/gaps: straight wall thickness: medium surface quality: very good CK-11 Mack LMSW grille: acceptable, but replacement would be not too difficult windscreen: plane windscreen frame/weatherstrip: replicated panel lines/gaps: mostly straight but partially reworking necessary wall thickness: thick surface quality: acceptable, but recessed areas around both side windows very poor I hope this was useful. If you need any further information please let me know.
jacobus Posted July 1, 2016 Posted July 1, 2016 jurgen , you have almost the same resin kits what i havethe dodge ls1000 must only paint the cabdodge 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 thinkfollow your projectsjacobus
Ack! Ack-ack! Posted July 2, 2016 Posted July 2, 2016 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 ...... Anyway thanks again!
mackinac359 Posted July 6, 2021 Posted July 6, 2021 This is the cleanest example of this cab I've seen. The windshield install is superb. The interior details are top notch. Well done !! Tim
