Hi
Some time ago II was asked by ToRo Model to paint their new release- Polish World War II armored car Kubus in 1/48 scale for Box-art picture.
Kubuś (Polish for "Little Jacob", but also the Polish name for Winnie the Pooh) was a Polish World War II armoured car and Armoured personnel carrier (APC), made by the Home Army during the Warsaw Uprising. A single copy was built on the chassis of a Chevrolet van and took part in the fights.
More informations about this vehicle you can find at wikipedia
..and some painting log on website
I hope you like it.
Regards

Interesting vehicle, Kamil. How does one get in or out of it? I see plenty of welded plates, but, no access door/hatch.

Hello
I'm glad you like it.
Joseph: there were two hatches in this vehicle. One of them is visible: it is on the top, behind this small shield. Second one, and main in fact, was on the floor, on the right side in the space between chassis frame and side armor plate. There were no hatches door, only simple doorway, so it's not counted in this kit.
BTW, to show size of this vehicle, I've shot picture during building
