HI to you all, here is some progress on my "Gimmy". I faced a problem, there was two types of axles on the truck, there was so called " Banjo " and " split " axles, you can see the difference on the picture below :

The main difference are the axles, but there is a lot of difference in front suspension and in the differentials, the problem is that Italeri gives a " mutant ", a "Banjo" axles with "Split" differentials and front suspension, even Aber's correction is wrong, because they are correcting the Italeri part but wrong version,so I had to make some scratch building.... I made everything except the differentials, I think this will be good enough...

I made new pto shaft's, for easier mounting I made them " telescopic " and it was easy to put them on place

The new exhaust and I started the work on protective sheet on the inner side of the rear wheels

Protective sheet on the inner side of the rear wheels finished, I added the brake fluid hose :

The spare wheel is different on this model as on the standard " Jimmy " so a little more scratch :

Finished chassis :

And the rear part finnaly closed, a bit of detailing and a lot of filling and sand papering.... :

@Dario great job, looks fantastic !
Thank's for comments !
The cab finally closed :

While the " Jimmy " is on endless filling and sand-papering I finished the road. The stones are painted with different shades of grey, black wash and white dry-brush. The gap between the rocks is filled with sand and plaster mixture which is fixed with water and painted with burnt umber

The fence :

And the overall look :

Amazing. Wish I'd found this sooner, always nice to see something that doesn't help kill the enemy faster.
Unless the enemy is tooth decay!
Looking forward to seeing it completed.

Magnificent work. I am enthralled to see you going to the next level with the detailed scratch terrain, too.

Hi,
I join all the others with their praise of your work -- just a slight improvement suggestion:
I suppose the roadsign is to stand in France; the name of the city then is spelled with a comma at the bottom of the "C"; google "Alencon" and you'll find what I mean, can't reproduce it here.
