Thank you Ray and thank you CB2001. I had no idea there was a paper model of this truck and I'm going to take a close look at trailer section of this to see if it gives me any ideas.
Net, I worked on the front fenders. With the front end more narrow, I'll have to fill in these gaps between the hood and fenders.
Here you can see some things on the outside edge of the fender and something that looks like a step that's on the front and back of these.
I trimmed and filed those off and added some dents and dings to the fenders. They came out looking deeper in these photos so I'll have to smooth them out.
I first cut out the wedge pieces that go between the fenders and hood with 4 mm wide on one end and 10 mm wide on the other end and 54 mm long. When I curved and taped them into place, they didn't turn out good enough and the fenders looked like they were angled inward toward the front, so I then made another two pieces at 4 mm wide and 11 mm wide and kept it at 54 mm long. This came out looking better.
I forgot to mention that at the bottom of the sides of the hood where the fenders connect, I cut out two strips at 7 mm by 55 mm. I also cut this piece of with a nice sharp blade because I'm going to redo that side of the hood as well.
