Soviet ZiS 150 cab and bed

[sassgrunt]

Well, I decided to build mine as a tractor-trailer, (which the rear of the instruction booklet tells me is a Zis-120N), and have started on it.

The parts do fit together well. The only problems I have encountered is that the doors don't align in their recesses very well when closed. To "adjust" them, I heated the very thick pivot arms with a candle, and then held the door closed until it cooled down - perfect fit now. The other problem I found was my own fault - the hinge rod for the hood sides didn't go very far into the cab and radiator. So, I drilled them out a little deeper, and replaced the hinge rod with longer 2mm rod. Now it inserts far enough that I won't worry about it ever vibrating out.

If you haven't seen Captain Jack's build in the 4x4 section, it is a work of art, and I hope I can paint mine even HALF as well!
