Bought this Alfa Centauri cab long hood White Road Boss kit today and may use it on this truck, just not happy with the crappy hood fit on this Road Boss.

That’s a good kit until you come to this part one of these days I’ll slay the beast and get that hood to fit level.

The new cab just came today, wow, impressed on the finish of the 3D printing.

The Alpha Centurai kits look really good compared to other printed cabs. What are you using for an interior , assume you'll fabricate it.

For starters I will look at some interior tubes I have in my junk box to see what’s close, if not I’ll glue something up, it’s a wider cab, so thinking that the tub from the international 5000 might be a good starting place.

Cab arrived a couple days ago and it is a really nice 3D print finish with minimal work to finish,  the kit came with no glass or interior tub. The interior tub, I will fabricate similar to the  Paystar 5000 with a floor pan, then the interior side panels. The Windshield, not sure, but I have some .010 clear evergreen sheet. The kit came with fuel tanks( one broken) and a front bumper.

It is a really good looking print - maybe I missed it, but where did you get Alpha-Centari’s file printed?

Glad to hear that. I’m always a little leery about 3D printing stuff not being smooth

This is printed by Brian Dutz from the forum. I’m building a GMC cab that he printed. It is very nice. They do have lines, but clean up pretty nice. Cleaning up the details can be close to impossible for me though.

Thanks Brian. I’ve thought about buying the long nose Chevy long bar grille single headlights. My Dad bought a new one in 1972 along with a new trailmobile  flat bed trailer but it was a short nose version.
