I got the windows and interior put in the cab and it mounted to the chassis for the final time. had to move the shift lever forward a little to allow the full pivot on the hinges. sun visor has been painted and is drying. fenders also were added.

Yes he does, both "Crystal" and "Trisha" K100's has this paint scheme, different colors tho'.
But I like the International Transport paint colors, and if we are into Youtube Ol2Stroker has a nice one on his Peterbilt 359 called "Mossy Broke", I like that one.

steering wheel assembly is kit supplied, and the pedals are from the k123 kit. the seats have been painted but not installed yet. interior has been test fitted in the cab and everything seems to be fine so far.

I think you allready know this Ken, but both the AMT and Revell K100C Aerodyne kits has wrong dash boards, they are regular K100 flat top dash boards.
The K100C Aerodyne got a different dash board back when the Aerodyne cab was introduced in 1976 with the VIT 200 Bicentennial Edition trucks, that dash was in all K100C Aerodynes and was in all K100E's when that model came.

Here is how the K100 Aerodyne dash should look, and Texas3dCustoms has a 3D printed version I helped to develop.

Nice update, Ken and I have to compliment you yet again for the backdrop to your photos - makes it all that much more realistic!

I got the side vents chromed and the sun visor put on. also installed the rear-view mirrors today. the camera I use is not sensitive enough to pick up the green on the cab. it looks black in the photos because it's compensating for the yellow. oh well. I'll do all the grab handles next.

Whether it appears black or green it looks spot on! Well done, nearly there. 

thanks Steve, I might take outside photos when it's done out of curiosity. maybe the true color will come out.

small update, the grab handles and fender emblems are done. donor kit were used on the rear rack and the emblems. next up are marker lights and drilling the cab for turn signals. also don't like the way the front wheel hubs turned out and going to repaint them.

What a beauty !! Clean and straight as an arrow. Your stripes are perfectly aligned and the cab sits spot on. That makes for a very sharp build. That sure is a good looking truck. And like the other guys say the back drop is excellent and really enhances the over all appeal.  Just excellent..
