he stated that you could add canvas to it but does the kit come with the ribs for a canvas back to be put on it? My kit will be in the mail to me soon I am sure and am looking forward to making a Canadian Log vehicle doing a supply run. It is a great review and I am sure will be helpful to many I only have the wuestion about the ribs for the back

The original M1078 kit did not have the bows. Based on the new sprues, this one doesn't either, so I am guessing not.
