A small update. As per a suggestion by Ron “shaky” Gardner, I highlighted the panel lines. I deepened the panel lines prior to primer and paint. They looked ok in real life but under the lens they were lack lustre. Ron suggested using a black panel liner or a thinned acrylic paint. Looking closely at it and the light colors I used, as well as the original sales literature, I thought black may be a bit ‘harsh’ so I chose a fairly dark grey, appropriately and with a very fine brush managed to stay within the lines and did the highlights. Maybe a bit dark but to the Mark 1 eyeball in real life it looks ok

So with the cab drying I decided I had better finish off the VERY bland factory interior. It was just basically a just a plain tub so stepping well out of my comfort zone and encouraged by Brian and his exquisite skills and the fact the Bren printed a couple extra goodies I decided to give it a go. So just a quick recap , I added some door panel detail, added the door support and the nuts, I also added some detail to the seats in piping trim, from there I added resin door handles, and window cranks, then Brian designed and Bren printed the control panel for the oil distribution from the tank, to which I added the plumbing. I also added one of Bren’s control boxes on the dash with the plumbing. I scratch made the two speed switch on the shifter, also scratched a PTO valve and the spring brake release valve. I dusted the interior up a bit and am actually quite pleased the way it turned out. I know the pics probably don’t do it justice, but again in real life it looks ok.

It might be too late now, but this area of the cab should have vents, which are on the PE fret.
