Thanks guys!

Cheers Sean, well it would be chilly in Russia during the winter!

The kit... In winter camo.. With a scratch-built cover.. With kit supplied tilt..

All done! With a flat bed cover from spare plasticard.. And the tilt cover from the kt.. And rear..

Thanks mustang1989, it's frosty winter.

Yes Bainford, in 1/24 it would be great. That's what I can't understand that 99 per cent Military is in 1/35!

Cheers Carl, the rest is on the WIP forum.

Winter's coming! Having looked at the options in the kit, I'm thinking of making a hard cover for the bed area.

More paint..

Cheers Joe, here's a start to some paint, so now deciding what colours on the bed.

Here we are Dave, a few bits on behind the cab and test fitting the rear bed, plus added matte black to the cab roof before a few more scuffs! And mud/rust whatever!

A bit more today Carl. I haven't fixed the rear bed yet just added/painted a few bits behind the cab and painted the roof matte black, ready for a few scuffs.

No i don't have any stuff about my scooters and they were Lambretta's, that went in my 20's, and that's now 50 years ago! Although I still buy button down collar shirts in blue check and light coloured Stay Pressed Chino trousers!

Cheers Mark, absolutely great to race! As a retired race/rally marshall I've seen cars of this size and make doing both. The driver need a great deal of skill to drive one safely, and very fast!

Tracks on today, choice of rear, fully enclosed covered bed or open bed with sides.

Cab and chassis done, with track finished today. In this kit there are two options for the rear carrier, one is a totally covered unit or two which is an open pick-up style bed with sides.

Thanks guys. It's a great kit with no issues. It's also interesting that within a mile of here we have both a basic Fiat 500 petrol, that a young lady is learning to drive in, and in the same house her mother who is teaching her has a deluxe EV version with a sun roof and in two tone paint and flash alloys ala ABARTH! Also a few other both basic and Abarth petrol powered and EV's in the town!

Yes I built them both! I only buy kits to build.

Bought this recently as I enjoy seeing tracked vehicles, but don't enjoy building them. So I started back to front in building the cab first as the engine/chassis and track units look terrifying!

Brilliant build. Schwantz yet another character I saw on a regular basis whilst marshalling with Sheene, Roberts and Parrish in the day!

Very nice, what exhaust system are you going to use. I used a candle and sprue and a turbo to finish this one off..

Brilliant Vespa scooter! This takes me back to being a MOD here in the UK in the 1960's! There was a large number of us in town about fifty percent rode the Vespa's, and the others on Lambretta's! All of which were Italian. We sometimes re-painted them, others had the removable side panels chrome or copper plated!

Wow! This was really worth seeing!

Decal sheets here in the UK were a large sheet with a mixed choice of brands. I have found some from Scale Productions in Holland, just waiting to get the shipping costs, which hopefully shouldn't be a great amount, Holland being quite close across the English Channel!

I've tried a few, either out of stock or 'don't ship tp the UK'.
