Finally moving this one under glass after a year break. Any of you that remember this one I’m sure thought it was dead but baby #2 arriving led to some obvious delays. Anyway, here is the as finished as it will get product. Box stock a few aftermarket decals and scratch built pogo stick, air lines, and gladhands. Feedback always appreciated and link to original here > On the bench

Little progress. Chassis air tanks and fifth wheel added. Sleeper assembled though large gap between roof and side walls that I just couldn’t let slide so the puddy will be sanded and a final coat on the sleeper to be added. Feedback always welcome

Love how clean it is under the hood! Sleeper was a great touch, don’t see many with a cracker box anymore

Interior complete, some minor cab issues to correct. Had to completely disassemble after first glue and trim the dash back 1/8” to allow the firewall to fit. Wouldn’t be fun if it was easy. Quick mock-up here, cab is Tamaiya Racing White

Any chance this is it?

Detroit dressed as C15, needed cleaned up a little now in frame. Full rolling chassis, added some gold hubcaps as well to match the stripes. Time for the cab and sleeper to hit the paint booth

Sorry, Al I should have been more specific. I do not actually have a C15 and with the build being just for me I was going to dress the Detroit as much as I could to resemble one. Otherwise, I’d be happy to let it go not much of a Detroit guy

This work is excellent. Love the two-tone scheme you went with. Thanks for the decal info!

First post so any tips you seasoned modelers can provide are VERY welcome. Going for the classic owner-operator look, something that had a lot of thought put into it when ordered. Frame is Rustoleum Heritage Red and cab will be gloss white to make the red and gold stripes pop. Will be dropping a C15 in the chassis once completed. Would love a good resource for custom decal work and anything else you guys on here do to put all of your work over the top. Thanks for following this build!

Hello, Been with the hobby ~5 years now. Always loved any toy that can be built. Would love any tips from you who have far more experience than myself. So glad to have found the group today, joined almost immediately. Enjoy building commercial trucks, classic Ford and Jeep, and Mini Coopers.
