O.K., looks pretty good. Can't see much of the detail due to the low light (dark) pics. Looks like a good build so far though.

do you think a tubular or sqare edge bars for the tarp? the pics i found are not that detailed and kit did come with any, alltgough the box art has them.

what is the best way to make a tarp without it sticking to the model during the process of making it?

Looks pretty good so far, wish you'd tell us a little more about the kit, since I've never seen it before.

it is a Tatra T805, a truck used by the czech army between 1954-1980. there are a few vesions of it like most military trucks have, radio car, fuler, commando vehicle and few more. there is not much about it on the internet but i saw a finished model of the radiocar and i had to buy it along with this type. i bought it in Czech, when visiting my father, from a guy that makes thes for casting and has few different models of different types. so far i have seen it on the net in few UK internet stores. if you have anymore questions feel free to ask.

Pavel, I'm basicly a softskin builder, so I'm interested in that kit. You wouldn't be able to point me in the direction of a vendor? UK is fine.

Well, I actually looked at Mission Models and they seem to have dropped the line of kits. Bummer!

No US source I know of at this point...
