After having built a few Scania R470/620s, I've decided to make a P340/380. The main difference between the R and P series in the cabin height, the R-cab, (being the premium body) is taller and offers more comfort and space.
I've modified an existing R-cab to a P-cab, and converted it to a low-roof. Main visual difference is at the upper front grill. The R-cab has 3 rows of horizontal ventilation, while the P-cab has only 2 rows.

Thanks! The side intakes were cut into 5 pieces each, with 2 pieces discarded. Lots of work to trim them to fit! My group showcased 2 units of P-cab earlier today, will share pictures when they are ready.

Thanks! Yeah the size/shape takes a little getting used to. Feel free to share your P-model truck too!

Thanks backtomyroots. Yes, it has the SLU installed. The demo video I've done was using the same chassis. 
We just had a meet up yesterday in Singapore. You can check out some pictures below:
