Rockford Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 This is my T600 tribute to the unsung and overlooked also-rans of the truck world. The humble daycabs with hardly any chrome, that toil tirelessly to get the job done. The kit comes with all the spoilers and fairings around a double sleeper but I wanted to lose all that. Cut the sleeper off, used the rear wall of the sleeper to make the rear wall of the cab. Let in a rear window. Added brake chambers to the rear axles, filled the top of the rear differential. Made a pogo stick and airlines. I'm fairly happy with the result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRIPTROIT 71 Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 You really did a beautiful job with this kit! I like it without the sleeper! Excellent work!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim B Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Great looking daycab. Very well done conversion. Any plans for a trailer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a tanker or a 20ft container trailer. I think it would look good with either. Just a question of which one I do first. Thanks for the kind comments all!

vincen47 Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 (edited) Nice! I don’t recall seeing anyone else do a daycab conversion on a T600 here, much less one in 1/32 scale. Unique and cool. Edited September 20, 2020 by vincen47 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerodyne03 Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 I already complimented you at the end of WIP, but they couldn't make it here too! ?? Great beautiful model, no easy work done by manual !! ??? For the trailer the choice is yours, I seem to remember that you like 20 "container trailers ??

metalhead Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Wonderful! My stepdad drove an old International 9200i that was converted into a day cab very much like your model. Your model captures that look perfectly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockford Posted November 16, 2021 Author Share Posted November 16, 2021 Thanks gents. Looking at the photos I realised I never posted any photos under any trailers. I also added rear hubs a few months ago, improves the look no end. I do still feel a little sense of pride at how well it turned out because it was my first go at plastic surgery for about 15 years.
