What are you thinking of using? I have Tamiya gold and Tamiya bronze. Got any other suggestions?

Found loads of little K ration boxes so thought I'd make use of a few of these

Cut them out, flip them over and score the back then glue them together, a good addition even if I do say so myself

One on the vehicle just to have a look, not sure if it'll be staying there yet

Boxes are good. Not sure if that is where a box would be put, though.

A few bits of stowage getting painted too

These vehicles where loaded down with stowage/equipment so I want to add a fair bit as I think the more they carried the better they looked

Look at this beauty
