Thanks

In this Part i show you some modification about the Cab. First i made a Alu plate for reinforcement the Cab, of course also for the new Cab look. The Alu plate have the same high like the Original Cab.



I modified also the Mudguard



The Cab look i made in Brass and is functional.





from the inside it looks like, he works like a sliding mechanism.



the new Cab entry



I need a another Cockpit for down Under because of the right hand drive. My Dealer in Swtzerland show me a RHD Wedico Cockpit (i was surprised, but Wedico made this for the british market). But the problem was the same it was too flat. After this i made one in ABS it looks better than the Original Wedico but it was lot of work.







I modified also the Mirrors, the Wedico's are not bad but a litttlebit square





The mirror effect are from a ABS-Mirror plate that i find by a Dealer.



At the Next Part i show you som kinds of unforeseen ?

WOW!!! Your attention for detailing is outstanding! Your functional cab lock is the best I have seen. Your RHD dash almost looks real! Can't wait to see what is next.

Thank you

Since I paint defects on the cab was, I decided to paint this again. Before I started I have some details still better built than Wedico.

For example, the curve behind the door, which was previously too square.



a rounded upper part of the sun visor.



roof spoiler and side were rebuilt somewhat Original. With new Holders











here the new color, similar to that of Zambonetti





Here are some pictures when I had finished the model





with B-Double Combination
