Here's the striped & decaled cab & sleeper box.... The blue stripe is red pinstriping tape sprayed blue.... I made the "Teo Zachinni & Sons" decals on my PC.... I got to get more pa[er & new cartridges!!!LOL.... I shot the pic without the flash to cut out the glare from the white paint....  & here's the detailed dash... I primered, painted the tan with craft paint, foiled the instrument clusters, & flowed thinned Testors Model Masters Acrylic Semi-Gloss Black over the foil....  Thanks for lookin!!!! ;D |

I think you`ve done brilliantly with your cab interior , especially the dash board. I`ve just reached the cab stage with my Western Star Wrecker Truck and I think I`ll have a go at some of your tips.
I`ve really improved the appearence of my last three cab interiors by fitting seat and bunk covers. I made these from a pair of my wife`s burgundy coloured thick tights. The material stretches and moulds itself to the seat shape - giving a realistic look to them. Jim.

Thanks stuckontrucks!!!! I used a piece of an old sweatshirt for the blanket inthe sleeper in my "Old Blue" KW K-123 replica build... Anyways shes done....    This is probably gonna be the last of the Teo Zachinni & Sons fleet... Unless AMT Reissues the I-H Transstar, the KW K123, & the KW conventional, that is.... There's no way I can afford evilbay prices for these OOP kits....  Anyways, thanks for lookin!!!! ;D |

A great job on a great model. I wish AMT had turbo charged the kit in the first place. I'm thinking of rebuilding the motor and adding a turbo shortly.
Nice to see model trucks, been building model trucks for nearly 30 years and hope to never sloe down.
Well done on your build
Cheers
