Well made a start on the interior and cab parts

Cab for most part is complete have a small glue mark on the rear side of the cab. But once the elephant's ears are on should hide it ok

Engine installed into chassis

Nice! Love the detail in the chassis.

As we don't see nearly as many COE this side of the pond, hadn't really looked closely at the cab before...
Looks as if the driver is almost in front of the front wheels... That must be a very different driving experience, especially in a turn!

In good Québecois, that colour is close to 'rose nanane', but not quite as bubble gummy!

Oddly, almost a perfect match with the roses in the front garden as I sip my morning coffee!

Cheers!

Cheers!

you get used to sitting above the front wheels actually easier on turns than a truck with a bonnet

Well last push and it's finished. Need to order a curtainsider for it now
