Pete 359 build

Nice to see that I still have a pretty steady hand.Instead of BMF,I decided to freehand paint the window frames with good old Testors silver.Not bad!

i stsarted to detail the dash.i like the white instrument faces.i will try to paint the bezels but it will tough.

What I did .

You can try this next time . I took chrome foil and covered the whole thing . This is what you do . Do this and then trim around the Big edges and make sure your foil is down and tight in the instruments . Now put the white paint in there . Just a light coat .The paint will drift away from the top edges of any detail in the instruments .

Then lightly take a cotton swab and rub the detail cleaner . Let dry . That way you are free to paint the pointers and dial readings . Don’t forget to use magnifiers for doing this so you can see the detail better .

You will then have a killer dash . After all you are talking about the “Truckers Cadillac”, a Peterbilt ! T.B.

I got the bezels as best as I could.Looks good and ready to install.

Now assembly can commence in ernest!

Beautiful
