Re: Custom build of a Kenworth C509 as autralian roadtrain
The next step was to correct the front of the cabine. The haule didn't fit to it anymore. So I removed the splashback (???) to insert a new one.
In addition I wanted to seperate the front windows. So I added a thin layer of styrene and glued the middle stay from the back.
The result:
During the work I saw that a glueline began to break so I had to glue a stabeling plate behind it.
While the stabeling plate was drying I had a look at the doors. I had the idea to set the glass by using window seals.
So I cutted and sanded a form from a CD cover and mounted it into the door...
I also added a new splashback.
The seal in the dor looked nice, so I tested it in the front.
But I also tried an alternative. A window glass with a small black frame glued on it. The window was sanded exactly in the form of the frame so that I could set it into the hole.
What's your opinion ? Which solution shall I use ?
