I like it a lot Karl, a job well done, especially those tracks, just a bit of red for the rear lights and a touch of silver for the headlights and you're done.
You did well with the stowage, and the straps to hold it on..
Cheers

That looks great. I really like the light dusting over the bottom.

Karl a very nice effort. I do have a question. Did you apply gloss prior to decals? I see lots of "edges" and some markings appear skewd. Also you may want to try to add some wear to the dust coat, by going back over high traffic areas with the base color in a dry brush, it will really make the model pop!
Cheers keep em coming.
