Nice build Klaus. It seems like this one is coming along nicely. One minor point might be the VHF antenna. It usually bends at the base. It looks like yours have got an angle a little to high. As I said, minor detail, looking forward to see it finished since it is an unusual subject.

Thanks for the tip Jason, fortunately the tarp you point isnīt always carried (you can see that in the pics I send you) and sometimes stowage itīs hold on that position, so no big problem
Thanks Scott, in time Iīll ask you for help in that matter, thanks for the PM
Thanks Erik, havenīt heard of you in a while, how is it going over there?
For the next one that issue (the antenna) will be adressed properly.
Best Regards (to all)

Very nice, Klaus! I do agree that you may want to tone down the chipped paint effect a bit, but it's your artistic license.

Hi, my conversion was based only in the photos I have, no plans or blueprints.
The name of the vehicle itīs the same that is in english, but with a different spelling: "Piraņa" instad of "Piranha".
Cheers

Looks good. The final weathering improves it greatly. Couple things on the finer details though. The spare on the rear deck should not have the hub still on it. It should look like any other spare tire with a hole in the middle and holes for log nuts around the inner hole.
Also, the coke boxes are way over sized. They should be about half the size you have them. Good job on it overall.
