Amazing cab details Simon. I really like this version as well, but seems a shame to not use the beautiful crew body. Will you make it interchangeable?
Great stuff.

Hi all, I am still working on the dash panel, reproducing the dials has been tricky, getting some clean accurate detail, I have made a few to practise, regards Simon.
Hi, wow, looks really good. I have found you're dash work particularly interesting as that's what I have been looking for. Found the decals, BECCs, so good to see them still in business, I was using them over 25 years ago. But can I ask, are both the sheets you show, from BECCs? And thanks for the heads up on the bezels. Amazing work.
thank you

Colin

Thanks Fellow builders for the praise, i have made some progress on the Headlights and Notek light, all working and ready to fit, much the same as my previous build, a bit repetitive but had to be done, regards simon.
