That looks fantastic!

Thank you, hopefully when the windows are in it'll look a little more finised

A few pictures of my cab, the window edges painted black before glueing the windows in.







The door with its window glued in. I still need to finish this off the black edging sticker supplied with the kit

Hello everyone,

A few small jobs on the 490 I've been working on. A stone guard has been added along with a beacon, i'll paint this at a later date.













I've also been fitting an adjustable pressure relief valve to the system, for this I had to remove all the electrics and re-locate them elsewhere. Still setting it up on the t/x but initially everything works smoothly and should hopefully improve my run times

Before I started







After I had re-installed everything
