🤣🤣🤣 I installed the fifth wheel too far forward! Live and learn !

Thanks for making a video! This kit is the first model I've built since the early 90s and I needed a little help

Hey mate! Thanks for watching! The biggest tips I’ve got are that I put the 5th wheel too far forward (was my first time too, should have been back over the axles) and I also had a lot of trouble fitting the cab over the turbo, I couldn’t get the cab to sit flush with the turbo on the engine. Some people have cut a chunk out of the cab interior to make room, let me know how you go!

Just an update after a few build sessions. The AMT instructions seem more like an exploded view than a step by step construction manual, and I'm struggling. The engine is assembled now, I had to sand down the turbo intake to fit properly, and I've glued the oil filters directly to the engine block haha

Nice update, that's a great kit!!!!!

I installed the fifth wheel too far forward though 🤣

Looking good so far, but you 5th wheel is too forward, it should be between the back axles.

Sorry mate yes I did I had trouble getting the cab over the engine. It was touching the turbo I think I heard some others get around the issue by cutting some of the floor of the cab

You did a terrific job on that engine. I'll try pre-shading my next diesel engine to see if I can replicate the results. About the axle color - painting them to match or complement the cab color is nice but they are typically the same color as the chassis. Another way to tone down the brilliant shine of hobby chrome is to lightly mist it with a flat or semiflat clear coat.

When you lightly mist to dull the shine, how many coats do you apply? It’s a good idea. Thanks for sharing.

@WJ St.Germain I've done it in one, actually. A light mist gives you more of a polished aluminum look. Of course, it depends in the chrome quality, and they're all different. Practice on the sprue.👍
