Clean finish on the Scania so far Mick :thumb2:

That dashboard is looking very fine indeed.

That's a nice tidy dash.

I will second that

Many thanks gents, hopefully some more progress soon.

Thanks Lee, larger update next

Bit of a larger update but as swmbo is away until tomorrow evening I got some desk time in.

I used this part to test the final colour as once the cab is finished it will not be seen again.


After watching a few videos on the real truck I found that this red box covers a positive terminal for jump starting, beside it is a hexagonal negative terminal which I’ve now added.


While painting in the panels above the driver I decided to convert one into a rough looking tachograph.


On the back wall of the cab there is a remote control and a control box for various lighting features etc. I had a go at them and they don’t look too bad fitted behind the drivers seat.


Some idiot then lost the pair of seatbelt clips I managed to find one in some bluetack but not the other so I set about making one. Here is the rough start with two bits of plastic strip glue together and drilled, and then fitted.


And finally a couple of pics of the assembled cab interior so far.

I've been playing some serious ketchup up here 'Good Buddy' and it's a big '10-4' from my end Sir!!! Some great work whipping her into shape and some nice scratchy thrown in there too, Mick. The blue looks to be a good color, but I have to ask if you going to add the CD player and speakers to it...No music, no rolling down the highway!!!.............I'll try and keep up now, my friend...
