Hi Gents, I've had this started for a while, doing bits and pieces to it when I can and while I'm waiting for decals for the Kenworth K104 build.
This is the cover sheet that comes with the 'instructions' for the trans kit. Auslowe provided the trans kit which basically consists of the shorter bonnet, quarter guards, headlight bezels and the instructions which are copies of the kit instructions with the modifications required noted on the appropriate steps.
This is the donor kit. It comes with the right hand drive dash. I'll be building mine as a tipper with a trailer to follow. I also got a day cab panel for the back of the cab to replace the hole to the sleeper, different tanks and brackets, different rims and after market exhausts.
This picture shows the difference between the kit bonnet and the trans kit one.
The engine, chassis and cab will all be built pretty much as per the instructions. I started with the seats, cutting the passengers side down from a high back into something more likely to be seen in a tipper.
I also put backs in the seats for a more realistic look.
Next I converted the wiper points to right hand drive.

Incidentally, I love the box top art. A road train in the mountains, all wet and snowy looking!
