Lord Kiwi

Looks like some solid construction on this kit Andy, --- nice and tight.

Are you putting this one in a dio scene?

Nice clean build Andy! Stowage looks good too. In some parts of the Philippines you can still see quite a few of these hauling lumber, farm produce, pigs (++) and people.

You might want to sand the bottoms of the wheels a bit to get that "heavy" look. And if you can get a bottle of Tamiya NATO Black acrylic it's perfect for getting the grayish black rubber tire color

Looking good Andy.. I've been debating between doing the Skybow one (same kit I guess) or the Steyr RSO..

Do the figures come with the kit?

Tuna,
Yeah they are the same kit. Nope the figures don't come with the kit the driver is from a hobbyfan kit which also has a MGer. The guy in the back is from some spare figures cliff sent me.

Lord Stooperd Anzac II,

To echo Lord WWH, this is solid and tight construction work, I like to see your work, they are progressing all the times. Unlike my armor skill which is like going back to square one.
