Thank you. It pales in comparison to Jaffro's build though.

Cab build has begun. First up is floor and hood framework. Everything fits fairly well but the diagrams could be a bit more clear.

Interior, rear and side cab walls.

Few adjustments to the dash to fit. Otherwise interior parts fit fine.

Walls were a different matter. Rear wall interior was printed in reverse image, and the laser part for the back room was cut to the outside wall silhouette and should have been cut for the inner face.

The rivet details are a nice feature.

Cab and fenders.

Parts design, printing errors and fit issues continued. Yes dealing with issues is part of modeling but I do have tolerance issues...

Anyway, the truck is done.

The trailer looks good by itself. The truck looks good by itself. Together, they don't look good together. The trailer tongue is too low. Jaffro warned of this and I didn't listen.

Parting thoughts.
Typical Angraf, over promise and under deliver. There's a reason I build these as long term projects, because they usually have issues.
Because of these issues, this one will never be displayed in public. If you wanna see it, I live in Iowa in a town along the Mississippi.

Greg

Anyway here it is.

I can't discern any issue with the tongue. Congrats on another fine build Greg.

If you saw it in person, only the rear wheels of the trailer touch the ground.

Your comments indicate some disappointment.
But . . it sure does look good in the photos.
Quite a big project.
