These Heller kits are a little underated by most people but they are quite a nice detailed kit.

Top photo there is a mold seam showing on the front wheel.

2nd photo down. The cab is not fitted correctly as it is high at the front and slopes to the back.

Once again though the photos are too dark to see much detail...sorry.

Cheers
Cliff

Other than already stated above, you could try a Matt coat on the tyres they look a bit shiny, good job though

Thanks for the feedback.
Having built the same truck twice in a row, one from Tamiya and this one from Heller, I can tell you this Heller one is a nightmare and the Tamiya is so straightforward!
I completly messed up this one, that is why the cab is mounted this way, I had to break half of the engine to make it fit!

I will try to take better pix, but thank you for the good feedback on the tyres.
