We’re about 1/3 into this project. Lightly sand the roof of the cab as there’s a circular mark on top. This will later get the firecracker antenna, glue in the four windows in the front and back walls since the Mop painted these over and sand down the headlight casting on the noses as this will be later plugged with a plastic inset and putty and a Detail Associates LT1012 headlight casting will be used to match the prototype. Hopefully will cut out the oval for the fans to sit on and add Acher rivets to complete that part of the model. Second phase will be adding the muffler, stacks and spark arrestors and the final phase painting, decals and weathering.
