The 3 piece cab in my opinion is the biggest hurdle of that particular kit. Good luck Gary.

It's a classic kit... Too bad they "three-pieced" that cab though... Best of luck with yours!

The problems with the 3 piece cab can be minimized with a little work. Lay a course piece of sand paper on a flat surface, like a glass table, and sand the cab surfaces until they meet perfectly. glue them together with liquid cement, and get the joints as perfect as you can. then add some thin strip styrene to the joint insde the cab to reinforce the joint.
Enjoy this classic kit. Dan

Thank you for that tip about lining up the panels.
I have to build that kit at some stage.
Look forward to up dates as you go.
Cheers

Almost a year later and I just got back on this build.This morning I got the chassis assembled and awaiting paint.Cab has been soaked in water and setting in freezer.Gonna disassemble it and sand it the way Dan suggested.
