Well, here she is. A little three-wheel delivery truck from Mini Art in 1/35 will be my entry for this Group Build.

Instructions - these look pretty straightforward at first glance although they are not as nicely split up as some other producers......

There are quite a few schemes included although I make no apologies for picking a slightly boring one. Couldn't resist the scheme of my second favourite biscuit producer....

The parts. All looks very nice and quite a low parts count for a Mini Art kit. The vehicle is pretty small though.

I hope to get a start on this sometime next week and hopefully we won't suffer any more forum hiccups during the GB window. Welcome along anybody who cares to join me.......

That looks very quirky, great choice Nick 😊.

I will follow along with interest.

Well, very minor works have been commenced.......

Rear axle. Very minimal contact point so hopefully squared up..

PE grills cemented into the bonnet...

Dealing with some ejector pin marks on the inside walls of the rear body...

And the rear body built up - roof just dry fitted for now....

Mini Art provide alternate wheel centres - I'm going with the posh chrome hub caps...

That's it so far. I see some very tiny engine parts and some copper wire in my future. Thanks for looking in.
