Firstly a big thanks to Pete for getting this GB off the ground.
This will be my build.

I will build it as Pop Larkin's truck from the TV series The Darling Buds of May. Pop Larkin was played superbly by Sir David Jason. Mariette, his daughter, was played by a young Catherine Zeta-Jones, so definitely worth watching![Tongue Out3 :tongue-out3: :tongue-out3:](/smiles/Tongue_Out3.png)

The "missing" tyre half was actually loose in the bag. I hope the wheels/tyres are not an issue being moulded in two halves.

The mouldings look very good. New moulds from 2021 so a new kit.
A really nice 32 page instruction book. I won't need the decals.

I treated myself to these Quinta 3D decals.

It will be a week or so before I start as "stuff" to do first![Rolling :rolling: :rolling:](/smiles/Rolling.png)
