Cheers, from memory Paul it's a Dave towse donor 804 for the cab and floorpan, and a good few years ago i got given a couple of resin Leyland bonnets, and a resin cast cab interior,  that Phil Hairsine had cast after he'd done a similar build of an 804 for Stuart Borthwick, Phil put his on a scaledown Nuffield 4/65 chassis, but i had a part built Leyland 384 so i used that instead, it's been on the bench for about 2 years but keep doing a bit to it, it's just recently started sitting on imber rears and UH renault hedger fronts, as there's a similar specced Leyland 802 parked not far from the yard where i keep my Major. Floorpan still needs abit more fitting as does bonnet but am getting there slowly.........

its going to look great when finished Paul,i was banking on the uh case models coming out,i was going to tackle a yellow 802 leyland,i have seen one done from some parts from Dave and an ertl db,hope it all goes well,i think Bor is doing a 802 at the moment as well

Cheers Sean, the dash panel is off the original scaledown down Leyland 384 but the console itself was one of the the castings that came along with the bonnet, just needed cleaning up and then shaping abit more to the inside of the cab. Like your idea of using Marge wheels, on the real 4wds they were more fitted on narrower rubber. don't quite know how long it'll take me to get it finished, More updates as work progresses :)

Here is a photo Barry, obviously not built but you can see the fantastic detail. Looking forward to getting on with it.

The bonnet and panel came off Phil Hairsine, he'd built one up for Stuart Borthwick and set about casting a couple,He had plans to build a handful of 802's and 804's but it never happened so before he passed away he gave me a bonnet and panel and said one day i'd get round to building myself one.

self build it is then i guess, never got that far , although body works all fitted roughly.  can just see it behind a big pile of 3x2 timber stacked 4ft high in the shed ;D
