Absolutely beautiful!
The only thing I would suggest is shading the handles on the ammo boxes b/c the handles look as if they are just part of the metal box.

Coca you have done an amazing job of the Dodge and it shows that you are a highly skilled modeller.

My only comments are that the load you have added would be twice the carrying capacity of the truck and yet it still sits high on the rear suspension and also I question the addition of the 'Dodge' Badge on the front (I know this is in the PE set) as later in the war when these trucks were made orders were in place that no makers name badges were to be used. This is why GMC 2.5 ton trucks made later in the war do not have the GMC badge added whereas early closed cab GMC's did.

cheers

Stunning piece of work Coca. The weathering is absolutely briliant. Mud and dust without obscuring any details. I particularly like the worn down paint on the front of the truck.
Figure looks great as well.
