atkinson 3800 resin cab

[codie27]

My linkhello again to you all.after an absence from the forum i thought i might share some of my latest builds,starting with this resin cab from aussie resin models.i used an aussie kw for the conversion and shortened the chassis 40mm to get the right proportions,and used the wheels and running gear also.i had to scratchbuild a number of parts such as th air con unit,grab rails on the cab,air cleaner mounts and intake,air lines and coils,battery box[with batteries]chain box,rear tail light bar using the lights from a volvo kit.tanks are from the peterbilt firetruck that have the chrome removed except for the straps and painted silver.the spot lights are king bee headlights from a 32 ford kit.the interior also has quite a few scratchbuilt parts such as the roof and walls being lined with grooved evergreen, rear air vents,air con vents,overhead console with speakers and c.b radio.even added a pine tree air freshener and coke can for added charm.it is probably my favourite truck in the collection now as it is based on the actual truck[as i remember it] my dad drove back in the nineties.was one cool truck! hope you guys like it,cheers.
