The floor-pan is built up from a vast array of detailed parts, with 5 parts to each front seat for example, not counting the mountings they sit on, & a 5 part rear bench seat. Apart from the sheer number of parts involved, the assembly method will be familiar to any truck modeller. The dash is exquisitely detailed & comes with a series of decals as well as moulded in detail.
The main upper cab shell comes as four separate sides, plus separate doors. A nice touch as these can easily be posed open for better viewing of all that internal work. No seat belts are supplied but a dedicated modeller could easily include these cut from lead foil or similar material. Most, but not all, of the glazing is done from the inside. With careful counter masking of the apertures, the shell can be painted the recommended green on the inside, & sand (in my case) on the outside without the need to mask off any glass as all glazing can be added later. The inside walls of the cab shell are also dripping with separate detail added by the modeller. One such really nice touch is the inclusion of etched interior sun visors, which are movable & can be posed at any desired angle!
