Tom Hall Posted February 29 (edited) THank you. Resin cab was a bit of a challenge because of the thickness of the casting. Edited February 29 by Tom Hall 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AlbertS Posted July 11 Nice work. Where did you get the cab and what engine did you go with? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He shows it as still available. The casting was the entire cab and hood assembly, all in one. The heaviness of the casting made separating the hood from the cab impractical. I did put an engine under the hood, so to speak but only detailed the lower half since the upper half would never be seen. I did take the time to make a 6V71 Detroit-Diesel by cutting away two cylinders on an 8V71. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
