The inside looks as good as the outside. You're right about the seat, Darren. Looks as though they assembled this in a rush cause the front fender guideposts are on a crazy angle as well. What I'm hoping is that the storage bins have separate doors/hatches that can be positioned.

This thing is rad. (Joke level:Dad) anyways, the interior is really crisp, and a lot of fun to look at. Definitely gotta pick this up.

I like afvclub kits. I bought Tiger I latest kit and workable track kit yesterday. It looks good.

Both driver's seats are too far back.

The kits instructions have missed out in the placement of the rear convoy lighting parts CC11 and CC5, but funnily show these parts on the model in steps 40,41,43 and 44. They are shown on the box art, but their placement on the model isn't mentioned directly.

Both driver's seats are too far back.
Maybe it's because both seats are so low that the driver is almost sitting on the floor, and his legs are fully extended - so the pedals are much further than a driver in an upright sitting position.
