JT, the tyres are a solid rubber and are very well done, I sanded the tread for realism and the overall fit is very good, they would look even better with some simple lettering on the walls too
Johnny, ute being short for Utility, that's what us Aussies say, yes very popular 'Down-Under' mate, every second vehicle on the road is a Ute
Thanks for all the comments guys much appreciated
Just a fun kit to build and with a bit of imagination and detail, they look good
