Thanks! Instead of the kit window insert .010 clear styrene was cut to fit window openings & secured with Future floor finish, this permits mounting glass close to outer surface of cab to help hide overscale thickness. Vent window divider is .010 x .020 styrene strip prepainted red. Horn is one trumpet taken from broken 1/25 scale two trumpet horn (C-600 or Titan/90 kit IIRC)  |

Thanks Dave.  All glazing is in, marker lights installed (kit parts with Alclad chrome), spotlight is adapted from small bullet light in Italeri Pete kit chrome sprue. Turn handles for doors made from small pins. Hard to pick out in photo but I did paint lock ring portion of rim grey (thanks for keeping me honest on that Rick!  )  |

Hauling beer in the smaller scale has not been forgotten, got some of the small detail items done recently. Spotlights on front bumper taken from 1/32 Mack CF pumper snap kit, stack and muffler made up from K&S aluminum tube. Mirror brackets are .020 brass wire with kit mirror heads. Wiper arms .020 x .020 styrene strip, blades .010 x .020 strip.   Trailer is a built up "parts box special", just set in place for photo. Heller kit does come with trailer which will be built to look like one from prototype photo.  |

Very sharp and honestly, rather difficult to tell from just the photo with the trailer on that it is 1/43!
