[Steven]

Hello chaps

i vote 'go'........it looks too top heavy and sort of dominates the vehicle when the ZSU should be the focus

 

[GerryW]

Possibly only the spare wheel on the roof/bonnet (hood)?

 

[stillp]

Another vote for 'go', for the same reasons as Paul.

I'm sorry to say Steven that I also feel the stowage is not needed. Shame as a lot of work has gone into making it.

Spare wheel, and some rubbish on the dash board :smiling: , a car looking like that would have a cluttered dash.

Have to agree with the lads. You can, strangely, have too much of a good thing - ever had a hangover? The kit looks just great so I'd save your excellent stowage bin for another project.

I dont think there is enough on the roof. You should add some more like this guy :tears-of-joy: :tears-of-joy: :thumb2:

Some excellent points here, Paul's point about it taking the focus is very well made - it's out of here - will find a new home in the Syrien dio

Thanks for replies everyone - I ended up with axing the stowage - the build is nearing completion
