You've got the whole running gear reversed!
Naw...only jokin' :-)
That is a REALLY nice build there Karl, love the finish. One tiny itsy little nitpick? The tyres on the wheels look a bit 'black?' Maybe a bit of dust? Brilliant finish otherwise though! Excellent. On Dislplay feature? Go on you know you want to....I'll be waiting at the SC.
(By the way, think of me at 7 tomorrow morning....on the way to Duxford) Lol, next time mate!

Looks good, the rust effects look good if it is a very old vehicle

Nice job Karl, really looks like a well used vehicle, like maybe later in the war and and its being used for strictly reconnaissance ?
As Vinnie mentioned, could use a touch of dust to calm down the "sheen" a bit. (Maybe the "daylight" photos will correct the shine ) I like your method to weathering, not to scratched up, but still look well used , nice.

Nice build mate!
I agree with the others about the dust..
Also near the ''swastika'', is a small white spot, is that a decal?? if so he's to shiny.
I must see it in daylight.. but it is looking good, and it will be better in daylight
