Just a couple of snaps of the finished truck. A good little set that builds well without issue.

The RN and the serials in the doors are from a decal sheet and not in the kit.

Painted with Track Pads, DOA paints. Vallejo and weathered with Vallejo pigments.

All locked in behind some Vallejo mat varnish.

It could be worse, at least they aren't shipping with CityLink. But my experience of shipping stuff through CPH is not very impressive; it took eight weeks to have tool returned from SAS.

Superb. Master-class.

Not underdone not overdone that happy place in the middle which I have found hard to achieve.

Now Ian could you let, at least me into the secret of "how to" on that tarpaulin. Just going to produce similar for a Landrover.

Just has another peep and just realised from the turn table it is on how intricate for its size. So nice.

It does say in the build thread, Laurie, but as its you:

I just made the "cargo" from foam blocks cut to shape and stuck together with PVA. I have some 'work-shop' paper hand towel that has not pattern or embossing. I cut a square off of that and make it nice and wet with thinned PVA, drape it over and with a soft brush and more PVA brush the 'tarp' down into the cargo until you are happy. Let it all dry a day or two then paint.

Thanks Ian and apologies. Only just got into these vehicle things last week so have been concentrating on aircraft.

Being retired I have little time now a days I am so so busy.
