Standard paint colors applied. FS35237 contrasts a little it too much against the FS36320, but some weathering/fading should tone it down enough to look more accurate.

Looks like a decent kit, especially with the single large clear part at the front. For a moment I thought of this as a 1:350 kit, but that wasn't right.

It has its share of inaccuracies and some spots that need a little putty, but overall it has been a nice build. It will take a little work if you don't want the seats in the cabin as they are molded as part of the floor.
