Progressing with the cab . Cab itself cut from .030 “ styrene sheet . I made a new floor from .030 “ styrene as well and used the seat surround from the kit . The windows were laid out and holes drilled in the corners with a 1/8” center drill .
Using a straight edge and scriber the outline of the windows was chased around tangent to the holes to provide a path for the razor saw . Windows then cut out with saw .
After cleaning up the cut edges with files the openings were traced in pencil on masking tape to provide paint masks . Openings then traced on .015” clear styrene with a needle and then cut out with scissors. After careful fitting clear parts cemented in flush with interior using Tamiya Extra Thin Quick Setting cement.
.020 “ lead wire chased around exterior of windows to represent gasket . Held in place against clear with PVA then cemented to white styrene with thin CA .
This is an initial sample made up to test process.
And the results so far …
Glass yet to be installed in doors then painting of cab interior.
Thanks for looking!
