White Freightliner COE Single Drive

This is an original AMT 1973 issue White Freightliner SD. The chassis was warped when I got it, the 43 year old tires were rock hard and most of the pieces had come off their sprues, but after much patience and test fit after test fit I think it came out pretty good.
Everything here is as it came from AMT (I didn't replace or customize anything). Paint is from Testors with a couple coats of clear, and there is some some BMF attached.
It was a great old kit to build, definitely look forward to getting my hands on another couple of these when they are re-released soon. There was really no major issues worth mentioning, just spend plenty of time test fitting and you'll do ok.
Hope you all like it...

That's cool, have get one.

The old girl came up a treat, well done!!

Came out well mate , what happened to the tilting cab ?

Very nice Truck mate!... And welcome to this forum.

Nice one Leith;
Get right back into it old son, enjoy watching what you do.
Remember the "Ozzie" flag comment on the Peterbilt; a ex pat should go R/Hand drive...??
If you're still stuck with your drive for the Steyr; drop me a email.
Cheers.

That's looking pretty good there Leith Cheers.

Great stuff Mate, nice to see one built OOB. Shows that these old things have plenty of potential without throwing $s in AM parts and mega hours modifying bits.
Like your work.

Thanks guys, I appreciate the comments. As far as the tilting cab goes, it looked fine when I did the test fit, but it seems the interior tub didn't go far enough up into the cab. The air scoop that sits on the radiator just touches the bottom of the interior tub. I shaved it down some, but I guess not enough. Looks worse on camera that it does in person...at least that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

As far as a RHD dash conversion goes, I just assumed there would be nothing out there for a kit this old. I have a few of the current issue Freightliner (the same truck basically with an extra drive wheel and sleeper) kits so I'll have to investigate my options.
