Hi Ulf! Thanks four your kind words! The dio itself is a wonderful piece made from Monroe Perdu Studios. I just added some plants, the rest is included in the box! Even the decals for the wall! They have done some excellent little vignettes.

Thanks Klaus! 🙂
I just added some in-progress pictures from the interior to show the detailing and coloring of these parts.

Great Maik! Beats the Italeri kit that is in my album by a mile. The dio base is really nice and wondering about the interior. That isn't part of the Tamiya kit, I suppose?

Hello guys! Thank you very much for your kind words! Really glad you like the little scene and the work I invested in the interior 🙂
To get you a few answers: The interior is out of the box very rudimentary. So I used some references from the web to scratch build some items, other items are either from the Eduard photo etch set or the Aber counterpart and the Verlinden Resin Update set. The interior stencils are from Archer and the Aber PE set and are very nice to get the etxtra touch to the interior!
Beside the work in the interior some modification were done on the exterior. This M8 is an early one - the exhaust is under the rear fender on the right side and there are no cross bars on the rear fenders. Also some weld seams were replenished to get a more realistic look of the real vehicle.
Two shots before paint was applied show the stowage items used and the weld seams. The green items are build with kneadatite.
