It always made me think why a police force needed a turreted armored car with a heavy machine gun turret. (They also used it for border patrol.)

Your right about it looking a bit ungainly, but you've done a fantastic job on it Colin.

I like Colin....a strange looking beast but a great build.
As for my Revell Dingo the camo is finished and an overall light sand wash applied to tone it down:

Next will be darker sand pin wash around bolts, hinges, panel lines etc

Great work guys !!!
Sal, it's a little late but you should have started painting the interior before adding some of the details ( steering wheels, seats.. ) with all the small parts and very nice detailing Dragon put into those 234 series, it's very easy to break some parts while painting the interior.
Pay attention and be careful while doing it.
Also pay attention to the hatches & clear parts provided, the instructions are... Dragon style.
