Good job Jurgen. Seems kind of unusual for the gun to be removed - most modellers seem to go the other way round and want to arm up their trucks! Nice paint job and I like the opened box in the back. Any plans for it to go into some kind of scene?

The weathering is awesome! I can't even imagine folding boxes that small. It would probably drive me insane and blind .

Thanks for the replies!

@firstcircle,
The gun-removal is also mentioned on the Wiki page of the M6, so, if I would believe Wikipedia , then this is even historically accurate

My plan for now is a simple wooden base, but I think I will make a diorama in some time...

@retiredyank,
The card boxes....are small . But quite easy to fold, had no difficulties. The PE(!) fuel drums were a lot harder to build!!

I thought the fuel drums were plastic or, more likely, resin.
