Calling this done I think. May have a bit of tinkering left to do, but it will do for here. I did have a crew to go with it, but I decided they wouldn't actually add anything, and the unusual vehicle would speak for itself. Really happy with it.

As for the model, a really enjoyable build. Bronco did well with this one. Minimal filler, sanding and trimming required. Some really nice little additives in the box as well, some packs, nicely moulded rifles etc. They provide a lot more than I have attached, but I'm not keen on perfect symmetry on my models. My only real issue, and I could not fix it, the barrel is wonkey. A couple of seams I missed on the gun which is irritating. I glued on the jerry cans before I realised they blocked the back door for the buttoned up photo. The brass shells are Tamiyas. C & Cs always welcome.

That looks good Jack! Where did you source the ammo clips as a point of interest?

Thanks Steve. They were in the kit next to the parts for the rifles, I didn't notice them for a while, but a nice little detail. This one has about 50% surplus parts.

They are outstanding - just the sort of detail I like to incorporate - small detail = big difference!

That is a splendid build. The chipping is most effective.

From those rifle stocks to the chain on the jerry cans a build full of detail, defiantly a contender and a winner Jack.

Congratulations from the committee.
