Thanks guys for your praise!!

The model is an Italeri from the late 70's I think. Not detailed, but fun.

I'd get rid of those Tamiya-like gerry cans in the back. Period cans, AFIK, all had three part handles. The one on the passenger's side is also lacking a pour spout.
I'd also hit the winch cable with much darker colors.
Other than that, looks pretty good.

Yes the Italeri kit was the only one around for a long time in 1/35 scale of this vehicle.

It's a bit hard to see but did you put the windscreen glass in?

Thanks for the tips! I hadn't any thought about the jerry cans, I'll have to look around and see if I can find a pic or something. It doesn't seem to be too hard of a thing to change...

No I didn't put the glass in. It was about 6 scale inches thick...

Oh BTW how was the canvas hooked on to the ties? Rope, belt and buckle, or something else?

I'm still struggling with my camera. The pics are grainy and out of focus...

If I recall, it was rope through loops.

As for the model, I like it. Short and sweet. Do you have a photo to go with it?

I had all kinds of pics the other day from the web, but of course did I bookmark them, ooohhhh no. I'll keep on looking for the ones I was looking at...

This one is from texaspowerwagon.com:
