I am slowly getting this kit together .And I thought instead of high jacking someone else's thread .I do my own for the finish.
Hopefully Ive also learnt how to upload pictures using photobucket .

Engine looks great: you'll have to leave the hood/bonnet up.
Pity about the rest....just kidding. Looks great.

Just a note, for modelers who pay a lot of attention to accuracy, the M2 .50 cal provided in the kit is grossly over sized. The cooling jacket/barrel length is correct but the main body of the .50 is way too large, as shown in the photo.

Hi Phonetic,
how much gear/stowage comes with the kit? Being so open it'll need lots to fill and look busy....

Hello Sean
the only stuff that comes with it are 12 Ammo boxes that go in the back rack .
And 2 Sa80 rifles that go in the rack in the seats.
The stuff ive used is the tamiya accesories

Generally either the AFV Club or Tasca .50 cal are the most accurate in 1/35th scale, however one must still scratch build the mount for it for the WMIK turret. I'm currently in the process of scratch building the mount on the AFV Club .50 for my WMIK, as well as the bracket for attaching a SUSAT sight.
By the way, fantastic build mate, looks awesome. Nice work on scratching the netting basket!

As mentioned above, Tasca's M2 should be a good replacement option :

...but you would still have to scratchbuild the mount (unless one of the PE players release it

The modifications I made were :-
transfered the spare wheel from the bonnet to the left side .
modified the gun rack..
painted the tyres in vallejo rubber
left off the drivers seat cradle
moved the rear seat
added straps to the bonnet front
added the bonnet cradle.
added the rucksacks and the bed rolls from Tamiya
the 2 figures are verlinden modified to fit.

Thank's for sharing your work.
It is items like this that help us stay motivated and also help us correct the kits shortcomings.
Here is a picture I like, showing the later wheels and well draped camo net.
