Hi. The Dakar kit is the one I wanted, but I couldn't find it. I have this one

...

Oh, okay good to know.  I'll be watching!  BTW: I never have seen that kit before, when it was for sale on a Facebook Marketplace, I jumped at the chance.

Couple more photos of WIP. The 1:1 truck was the look I was trying to go after. The underside of the bed is comprised of about 15 parts! I have to attach the lights there next. But I'm amazed at the level of detail in the kit. I did a test fit of the cab and bed to see what it might look like. Not glued and the top is not attached yet - but it seems to be coming along nicely.

Very nice build! Just picked up one of these from the LHS last week.

Hi Zen. If I were to do it over again, I would use clear acetate for the windshield, as it has some unsightly tabs. And, I would open up the hood to expose the engine. But I just had to say "when" at some point and finish it.
