Next step: The Backlights

The rear mud wings are bought (MAN), but the rear lights are custom build again.





After finalizing the rear lights, the module between the lights was the next part. It holds the distribution board for the rear lights.







After that, I had an absurd idea. I wanted to have a feature that no one other has. So I started to work on a curve light. If the stear is turned, the day lights beneeth the fog light turns into the same direction.

This was the first version



In the middle a bowding cable was fixed and a servo placed in the cabine was mixed into the stear servo.

A few month ago I implemented Version 2 made of brass. It's placed inside the front grill and does not need any servo in the cabine anymore.





Will be continued....

Next item was the air intake andthe roof.





















After the paint job for the roof was done, I decided to repaint the front.

Next item were the side trim panels. They were made of 2mm and 0.5mm styrene plates.







and the fuel tanks and the holders for the side trim panels













And after another paint party...






Here you can see below the connector for the sound module and above the jumper to configure if the sound module should work with the connector or with the IR Diode.
