Thanks Robert.

Well, I think you never read the memories of Heinz Guderian...he was fascinated by wood, and did not like the interior of the bed of their trucks were painted. This is just one example. Them, the painting was not a fixwd rule. This is a fact.

The power source for the radios are clearly beside them, so, on the tables.

About the tarpulin, I did not put the tarp by my own choice, but is a good idea attach a tarp on one side of the bed. So...

Sorry, my english is very bad.

I appreciate your comments

You're right, I've not read Guderian's memoirs. I'm not sure how much influence he would have had on truck manufacture though, given that he was responsible for armoured troops. Would that not be the responsibility of a different office? Still, fair enough; not worth arguing over I Like all the bits and pieces you scratchbuilt by the way.d

I don't have the Maultier but I thought the 4x2 truck version of the Merc that Zvezda makes was brilliant. Apart from the dodgy wheels, which I replaced with Hussar ones, I was very impressed and it's pretty close to being finished once I texture the driver's seat. Even at the retail price, I was amazed at how well details and engineered it was, given some of the horror stories that have been attributed to Zvezda kits. Far superior to any of the Tamiya truck kits I've had.

Thanks Robert,

The tires are really a problem, very narrow. I made myself the center of tires, more wider.
The details are great on both vehicles.
Bye!
