The first building steps of this Ford Mutt kit imply already a lot of schratchbuilding. Springs and bumper are being replaced. The hind axle will be lowered.

The CMK kit is installed after half of the body is sawn down. It doesn't fit as expected but it adds a lot of engine detail.

The Resicast lenses are placed from the aft of the radiator grille that is removed from the CMK kit because it was warped. The seats are detailed.

The windshield, seats and figures are assembled.

The figures are undercut on the less detailed spots. Then they are primered black together with some stuff for a different dio.

The V-100 interior is primed black after the wheel wells are covered with angled metal sheet. The Master Box .50 got a schratchbuilt strut. The whole will be demonstrated tomorrow at the Brouwersdag event in Gorinchem.

Thanks, Calvin. The diorama was presented on Brouwersdag today in its naked kit state.

I replaced the Hobbyboss axle joints with some sound brass wire.
