Haven't had much bench time but detailing continues.
I made the clamps from BMF and did the side cab vents the same way. I found it stuck better than the vinyl tape I use as tank straps.
The cab door handle, Kenworth badge and step edge strip are photo etch items from Auslowe.
The headlights are also Auslowe items, each light consists of base and lense. I did these in alclad.
Bumper and grill also done in Alclad, bumper shown upside down.
Made a start on the interior. Wasn't sure if I should try to replicate the real thing but decided it would be hard to see so I am just doing the front section. The slot shows where the interior wall should be but I've moved it 5mm to close the gap between the seat and wall.
I didn't use any of the kit interior in my Comet KW, so I used the left over pieces in this one. Some parts are reversed but I'll cover them in a diamond pattern material later.
I cut the right hand side of the top part off to create the returns on the wall to the sleeper.
I put the bar across the top so I can hang a curtain across to block the line of site into the back of the cab. This means I'll only have to detail the underside of the extension of the tub ( make sense??) This isn't anything like the real thing but should look ok. Still no idea on colours for the interior.
