This piece is going to take a lot of work. Looks like they had some resin left over and decided to dump it all in. :bang head :bang head :bang head

Update! I've got the rolling gear on and most of the parts cleaned up. Man some of this resin was super thin and every time I sneezed something broke. I don't think I'll be in a rush to buy another resin kit anytime soon. :stinker

Anyway... photos...

I need to figure out a way to do the windows. Right now I'm thinking of painting everything first before assembly so that I can put the windows in after without having to mask. There is no ledge or anything for the windows to sit on so I am worried about pushing the windows out of place when masking.

Purdy :drool , that is a bit of a quandary, one thing you might consider is running the clear bits all the way to the cab floor, similar to what Roden did with their buses, the windshield could be a problem, but if you can wrap it around, as in have the front and sides as one piece, this may take care of that problem, just a thought.....

Hey Tim. Thanks. Good to see you. I think your idea might work but the resin if I remember correctly isn't smooth on the inside. I'll have to investigate when I get home from work.

Looking good Dave! I can appreciate the time it is taking. resin is so much more of a challenge but you are doing this one justice!
