Here is the completed cab interior. Everything you see came in the kit, it is quite complete. Hope you like it.

As we say in England " Bl***y Hell... "
Don't tell me the seatbelts actually work...
That looks better and better. Will you finish it 'factory fresh' (as I believe is requested by your customer) or will you be adding a few details to liven it up, like a map or some crew items? I don't know how you do it, do you use any glue at all?? Very clean, very nice.
Cheers

Excellent interior. Love all the details on the driverīs dashboard and the safety belts on the back seat. I take it, from Henkīs post that this is for a customer. A slight weathering to edges and light pin washes to raise details would be awesome, if possible. How was the build overall? Theres been some reports of difficulties on AA items. Ive only ever used stowage type items from AA and was always impressed by the details, but cowarded away from kits or conversions. Nice one Gino.

I truly think it's awesome, but, since this is the R.R.B. I think I should critique a little.
Fix the lighter.

Gino:
Is this all stock, or did you add anything? Like how it is coming so far. Will you be doing any scratches or anything?
Man, I wish I had the $$ to jump into something like this. But, maybe someone like Trumpeter will do it. I'd love to do an OIF thing with a Bradley or whatever ontop. I'm surprised your customer does not want something on it.

Thanks for all the comments, guys. Don't worry, the interior has since been drybrushed and the floor and lower areas dirtied up some. Those were just initial shots of the painted interior. As to the kit, it is awesome. I have had no problems and it pretty much falls together. No issues at all. All the detail you see comes in the kit. I have added nothing extra.

I loved the dash Gino!... Your work keeps getting better and better. I would like to build one of these monsters myself. Saving up my coins to get one. Do the seat belts come with the Kit or is this some more of your great scratching? Looking forward to seeing it completed.

Thanks Animal. All you see in the photos is in the kit. I haven't added anything to the kit that wasn't in the box. It is quite complete. A great kit.

To do a dashboard like that, the rest is all down hill, if I learned how to do a dash like that, I would even think of saving up for one of them.
Good work Gino
