Łukasz, there is also PE in the box, only it is missing from the photo. The steering wheel, seats, dashboard are from a scratch build. There is not one, but two vehicles in the kit, like the "dual combo". The fit of the model is very good, it is easy to build. I think the details are nice too.

Built this vehicle, nice little kit. Do you know where to find Syrian decals? Thinking of doing a similar project but I believe most of the S-Model decals only contain the Iraqi flag.

Unfortunately, I don't know where to get Syrian decals. I think I will freehand paint the markings as well.

Wow it looks great!! How did you go about getting scratched/chipped dirty appearance on the paint job? Also I'm assuming you dry-brushed over the raised details and edges with a light brown color?

Thanks! I drybrushed the edges and created the pattern with the same short, stiff bristled brush in a light brown color.

Great little build 👍 Really like the sagged tires as well as the groundwork!

Yes, flattening the wheels was as simple as that: I heated them a little over a flame, then pressed them onto the table.

Brilliant result 👍 What is that green stuff you used for transparencies?

Łukasz: it's not green, it only looks green in the flash light. It's an artificial nail foil, I don't know the name. I also made F-15 HUD glass from it: [img1]
