This was a pretty fun kit to build, though certainly tricky at times. Overall, this project took me just over a month to complete. The detail provided in the kit is excellent, and the parts are well moulded and for the most part have an perfect fit.
Following the instructions makes the kit more complicated to paint so I opted to construct almost the entire body and frame separately, and only unite them once they had been painted. Getting the body to fit over the frame with the engine installed can be tricky, but it's possible provided you leave the bonnet and radiator cover unattached.
Decided to build the vehicle presented on the box art and was pretty happy with the results, especially considering this is my first time painting a two tone camouflage as well as my first time hand chipping.
Any questions or critique please leave in the comments as I'd love to hear it.
