Good work spicing up the seats - the kit parts are extremly boring.

Also nice work on the roadwheels, but maybe a bit to regular/even.

Its a quite nice kit.

Cheers

Looks like a fun kit, glad one is again (well available) on the market.

Very nice work Malcolm. I really like the shape of this vehicle and have one in the stash. Is there much clean up on this kit, I see the big knockout marks in the engine compartment, are there anywhere they can be see and have to be cleaned up?

thanks

Hi Pat,
yes, there is plenty to clean up, the knock out marks you see here on the cab floor, will not be seen once the cab is on, its going together pretty well.

cheers mate,
