This was probably the trickiest part of the build so far. Replacing the kit headlight guards which like in most kits are far to thick. The centre grill was removed then the outer rail was added from plastic sheet cut to the correct width. and glued to wings to get the correct shape. Next 0.3mm copper wire was added to construct the grills.
Finally some rivets were added .
The clear lenses for the lamps will be added when it has all been painted.
cheers

I have built the .50 calibre using a detail set that I had with a few scratched parts as well.
The mud guards and stays were also replaced using brass sheet, the detail was added using a kit one to form the shape. Rivet details were then added.
One of my reference pictures showed a wheel chock stored on the front left mud guard but it may have been a local thing as There was only one picture.
The frame for the MG mount was next it is as the kit with the exception of the Ammo box storage which as the kit one was very thick, was again made from brass sheet and pewter straps.
cheers

Paul,
I would have thought there would have been a pair as well. As I said it may have been a local mod.

Somehow I've managed to miss this completely?!!
Just read it right through and loved every update, I'm not surprised by your improvements on a build any more..... but I AM always blown away by them

I have always had a real liking for the U.S. WW2 trucks and half tracks, not done one of this type yet mind.... It's looking fantastic mate, loving it.
