A pair  

Alignment of the exhaust was difficult.   I think they had to be shortened (horz.) and lengthened (vert.). 

Adding grime to the cab using heavily diluted paint with a spray gun.   My favorite look is "in use" and am trying to learn the art of "less is more".
    Booby trap !!!  I have come to expect "issues".  The interior tub had to be relieved severely to clear an interference fit  with the air intake pipe (93).  The shift plate (68) was also not cooperative.  (too high, too long)     Copper tubing was used to fill the gap between the exhaust (95,96)  and mufflers.     

Took advantage of the unseasonably warm temperatures and decent humidity outside today and shot some color on the cab....still have a small bit of tape to clean up (door handles,wind shield wipers, script on the doors, etc. etc.)  Still working on the packer body.....so far so good.   

Hey Casey  Is the price for the Pete tanks for one or a pair. Ron G 

looks good to me.

I got some more work done on the packer body interior.    Filled in the open areas on what is the 1:1 scale hydraulic oil tank with styrene sheet.  Did some subtle weathering.     For what ever reason there is a notch on both upper corners of the kit ejector blade.  I filled in the upper Right notch with a piece of styrene sheet. Filled in the interior wall (Left piece} with styrene strips and automotive glazing and spot putty.  Will leave the sanding scratch marks in place on the rear 2/3rd's for metal to metal contact effect.    

A couple days ago I got some new Paasche bottles and lids w/tubes.  I noticed that the tube fitting on the 1oz. bottle lid was different than the lid that came with the air brush originally.  Not a problem,except that this tip/how to would not work with this new style? lid w/tube...so I came up with a working solution.    
Newer style lid w/ tube on the Left, the original VL air brush lid w/tube on the Right  
  With the newer style lid (Left) the vinyl tube fits inside the fitting.  With the original VL air brush lid w/tube (Right) the vinyl tube fits over a barbed fitting.    
 Newer style lid w/ vinyl tube removed
  This old CA glue bottle nozzle will become an adapter that goes between the lid fitting and the vinyl micro fuel line.  Be sure and clean any glue remnants from the nozzle...I used a drill bit and blew it out w/compressed air.    
  Remove the threaded portion of the nozzle...avoid cutting into the inner flange of the nozzle, this is what will end up fitting over the lid fitting.  

  Remove the grooved ridges from the base of the nozzle...remove enough so that the nozzle will fit up into the lid and the lid can be screwed to a bottle.  Taper the tip enough so that the vinyl micro fuel line will fit over the tip.    
  Slide the vinyl tube over the nozzle  
  Firmly press the nozzle over the fitting.

First off a salute to my fellow veterans on the forum..... I have started to work on the packer body and its separate components. This is from the Garwood sales brochure for the LP 900 packer.  This is the view looking forward towards the truck cab from inside the packer body.      Here is the same part from the kit.  The lower portion and upright portions are part of the hydraulic tank.  I am going to be displaying this at model shows with the roof of the packer body off, so I will be filling in those open portions with styrene sheet to replicate the hydraulic tank shown in the sales brochure. This is also from the LP 900 sales brochure.  This view is from the front part of the packer body looking towards the rear of the ejection panel..... the sliding panel that pushes out the trash at the landfill as well as compacts the trash being picked up.  I will be cutting a notch in the ejection panel for the raceway and attaching it so that the raceway will stay in place with the roof off instead of making it part of the roof as shown in the brochure.      These are the inside of the packer body sides.  I understand to make the injection mold process work that AMT had to do it this way, but the insides need to be flat with no obstructions.  These raised parts would be disastrous in the real world.  I will be filling in the areas between the raised parts with styrene sheet to have a smooth interior of the packer body.  

Thanks!!! Just about got the cab wrapped up and have started on the packer,hopefully posting some progress pictures soon.
