Lots of fine detail on this kit. Dry fitted wheels and splash thingy, until I can obtain and apply primer.

I wonder if I can add a few detail, similar to my 1:35 one...

I'll add 'glass' for the windscreen, after priming and painting. The screen is actually hinged, and removable - neat!

The jerry can handles were moulded as a solid block, up I've tried to modify it, to find a couple of handles. I'll continue to try to improve them further....and maybe even fit the middle handle.

If I had left the steering wheel off, I might have made a better job of painting the dashboard dials....

The damaged grill frame has been repaired. So glad I scraped the rear of that piece, to let air flow through the open grill.

Decals are settling in, and will be coated with a clear coat once fully dry.

Fine wire used to create some tie-down cleats.

Once I'm sure the glue has fully cured, I'll try to make a tarpaulin and ropes.

Welcome, Lukasz. This looks like these could turn out quite nice, but the plastic is very soft, so easily damaged....

Nice work !! Was it a good fit or lots of filling sanding?

Many thanks, Bas Tonn. Everything fits really nicely with only minimal adjustments here and there. A few mould ejector pin marks need to be filled (I didn't fill them all, as you can see...).No seam marks, so very little cleaning up required.
