Morning all hope everyone's well. More done last night. Not a ton but just enough to make me happy. As Hannibal said many times on the A Team. "I love it when a plan comes together".

Thanks Kerry. This has been a fun build. I also have an Italeri Freightliner FLC120 I will be doing. A little apprehensiveness on doing the multi piece cab. Looks a bit challenging and the attempt may be a bit above my pay grade. But I will try my level best.

Kerry let's hope so. There's a 4300 day cab that has to be built first.

true. I have a few AMT kits I need to finish as well. But those BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH mirrors are holding me back. Especially my Diamond Reo.

True. I never quite understood why not completely do the mirrors completely molded. Then again I never understood why AMT never did the Ford WT9000, or why Round 2 hasn't released the LNT 9000 again. They have a ton of box truck styles.

Right, would be easier than 6 parts to build a mirror and mounts...

But yet the Astro 95 and Titan 90 are one piece as are the Transtar and Cruiseliner

So back to this one after a few months and a broken front axle I’m back to working on the final touches. Changed the front visor color to Aluminum.165960B4-4871-41F0-981D-83FD4D150C42.thumb.jpeg.8176f6a2bc399226f48d2c1a30ca0f3c.jpegEA5DFC74-B106-4FC6-A433-166159CB498E.thumb.jpeg.379faae7f1a4b3f3d0a98873f3260b21.jpeg
