Joris Posted September 11, 2015 (edited) Having used the wrecker body from the Italeri LAFD Heavy Wrecker kit, I still had the Western Star parts left. I don't really like the way the cab assembles, and I definitely hate the 36"generic sleeper the Italerians toss in every kit they find suitable, I still figured the WS would be a waste not to build.I looked online for pics of a WS daycab panel, and made my own from styrene. Also I cut down the frame (and therefore the tanks too) to make a city tractor. The bumper came warped in the kit but I decided to use it anyway; I could see a city tractor getting hung up on steep loading docks, badly parked cars etcetera. All in all I'm pretty happy with the result. Edited September 11, 2015 by Joris 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cornbinder Posted September 13, 2015 Nice!I just made a flat panel for mine- since I planned on using a headache rack all along, it wouldn't have been worth the effort for me to make it look realistic, or buy an aftermarket one. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joris Posted September 14, 2015 Thanks man! I tried to make my daycab panel as realistic looking as possible; didn't want a headache rack on it, and I always say I have OCD-Light... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
