A lil back history.I started building another Iveco kit a couple years back.Last winter I dropped the cab and it busted into several pieces.It went to the trash can and rest of parts went to a club member.A few monthes back I bought another kit and have had better luck this time around.Building it for a cbp at The Modelers Haven forum.Here's where I'm at so far.It isn't up to par with most of the builds on here but I'm learning.Per rules of the cbp no extra parts can be added as it's a box stock cbp.    And a mock up with cab on.Can't really tell but cab is painted beige  After painting the cab I relized several parts should have been put on before painting.So I now have them on and should be painted this weekend.  It has to be finished by 10/31 so I gotta aways to go in a short time. |

You've got a long way to go, & a short time to get there. Hmm, where have I heard that before?  Seriously though, it's coming along very nicely. |

Looks like you are doing a pretty fair job on this one to me. And every model you build should be a pleasurable experience. In my opinion ! Also you will learn something on every build.
Be Well
