Thank you very much for the compliments gentlemen, very apprecicated!
@ Boots: I knew it wouldn't fit without some work, but didn't expect to have to cut off nearly half the cabin floor...

Bert, excellent start and that is a nice resin addition to the engine compartment.

Managed to avoid it for 2 years, got all 3 shots, but Covid finally caught me.. tested positive last friday, been in bed most of the time the past weekend, like having a really bad flue. Will be at home for another few days, and doing very little it of glueing... This truck with that not matching upgrade set is causing more work than I expected, had to really adjust the cabin.. and the area between engin and cabin...
And decided to try some extra detailing on engine and engine compartment...
And roughly putting it all together ... doesn't look to bad... will need a bit of patching up..
Also been working on the figures for this one.. been making a frankenstein monsters again, torso, leggs, head, feet, arms from different donors...
And stowage... that cargo bed needed some stowage.. and a cover, I had a cover left from the Mule. That cover was a bit to small, so had to lengthen it a bit... but now it fits... and I know, it has only 3 supports instead of 4... but think I will use it, because I think it looks nice
So, hope you like it, and tips are allways welcome..

Gotta give ya 10/10 for perseverance on the non matching up-grade set, a fair amount of hackin` and slashin` has been in progress it seems .........patched up and under paintshe`ll look pretty good i reckon As for the Covid....yep.....the 3 jabs and still succumbed, hate to think what it might had been like without jabs coz this is bad enough

Thanks Boots, must say that in a way I am enjoying this crazy build... doing all kinds of things I never did before..
And indeed, without those shots I would probably be still in bed..

I'm glad you're getting on the better hand Bert. The model looks promising with all the effort you're putting in it. Will you cover up the stunning stowage in the back?

Thanks everyone, must say that the C is not to bad, really like have a bad flue. Suppose without those shots it would be a lot worse.
And thanks all for your encouragements on the build, like I said, a lot more work than I thought it would be, but nice to do. And I will be putting that cover on the back, but think I will raise it a good bit, so you can still see the stowage underneath.

Stunning work Bert! It's great to see that this flu doesn't affect your mad skills one bit!

And the great work continues! Nice job with the resin and the figures under the hood will make for a great scene.
