Nice clean build. The axe at the back looks a bit 'wonky', like it's not attached properly, and the left front mudguard looks unattached also.

Is this the Italeri or the Skybow/AFV kit?
the front body panels appear to be sitting too high off the chassis and also the winch rope has too many 'hairs'. It also appears as though the mold seam on the spare wheel has not been filled properly. Also it appears as if the passenger side headlight is missing it's lens although this could just be the light.

Mr. Roo hit it with his suggestions ekaufman. The weathering looks very good. Not overdone. I too would suggest putting some gear in the cargo bed. It is a clean build Bravo

It is the old Italeri kit. The Cab/Cargo Box join is tricky in this kit, in that if you follow the instruction sheet, you won't get the Cab to sit on the frame rails and align properly - hence the "floating" appearance of the Cab above the rails. It is a challenge to get everything all lined up properly in this kit.
On the other hand, Skybow's kit is engineered properly...
