  Sergey,

               I remember this build thread from when you started this project . I just went through the whole thing to see what I've missed in my absence.

Truly impressive work . Glad I came back to this Forum.

 

  Be Well

Hello, colleagues!

A Question: does anyone know, if green tint on top of the windscreen (see picture below), was a part of ALL Chevrolet's truck? Or may be it was an option?

The reason I'm asking, that I can't spray green tint well. Should I try again?

I think I've found an answer. In my Cherolet Trucks book I can see a picture of 90-s Kodiak without Softray (I hope it's the right name) tinting.

So I can skip it. :)

Some small update

A friend of mine (probably known as Peterson) have drawn and printed roof lights:

Here it is, fitted to my template.

Finally sprayed chassis, plus couple more parts

... and head light recess. I alves slightly fail with masking.
But I'm glad, that this part of cab is finished. Though all plastic and rubbers on a cab are waiting.  :wacko:

And small tizer:

I just caught up with this build...................... I can't add anything more that what everyone else has said, other than to agree, that the skill set is amazing, this is so incredibly well done, and gives me many idea on some great scratch ideas...... fantastic..... the attention to detail is mesmerizing...  I can't wait to see more updates...... this is a fabulous build and tutorial.... extremely well done !

Hello, Gents!
Slowly going to finish! 
Let's start from nice touches. :) Her I made small red copys from originals, painted chrome.
183
Sunvisors & front stand upholstery (marked with arrows).
184
Glued windscreen with epoxy
185
Rear window
186
I really wanted to make a crushed stone crumb on the tread, as in the photo

Yes, I planned to make the gravel in the body from drying pellets. These are sometimes put in new shoes inside bags . I picked it up - from the packages from the glucose test strips. And then rubbed on a spatula (in the photo-on the right). In my opinion, it turned out better than ZIP pigment.
181
And here on the right - a bottle of those pellets. It took me years to collect this amount.
182
Front wheels with nuts & nipples
 187
There is almost invisible nippers on rear wheels. Perhaps it is pointless to make a nipple  on 10-hole disks.
188
Up grated tanks
189
Some chassis & body views

191
192

I found another way to replicate mud flaps. In electric shops it is called "heat-conducting dielectric sheet". This rubber is 0.5-0.25 mm thick. It can be sprayed.

Ask questions! I will be glad to answer.

Excellent details on your interior I like the cord for the air horn and the side window part way up. Looking forward to seeing you finish this long term build.
