This will be my entrie for this group build, starting a bit late but will finish it.. This will be made into a late IDF vehicle, because I think 1 or 2 might still have been in use in 1967, the IDF needed everything they had.. ![](https://i.ibb.co/sWnZrvh/01-start-1.jpg) Started the chassis, nice change from the Dragon chasis on those M3 halftracks.. ![](https://i.ibb.co/Nx1MLVC/01-start-2.jpg)

Thanks everyone! Had forgotten how nice it is to build a Tamiya kit... the building goes fast, fit is great, hardly any cleaning up to do.. And the kit comes with some figures, including a good fitting driver.. ![](https://i.ibb.co/D7C2Hqh/02-progres-2.jpg) The side doors are molded closed into the side walls, but I wanted to have one door opened... ![](https://i.ibb.co/26wnd7h/02-progres-3.jpg) ![](https://i.ibb.co/YRXky0x/02-progres-4-a.jpg)
Made the front wheels slightly twisted because I like that more than straight.. ![](https://i.ibb.co/4Jr7w78/02-progres-4-b.jpg)
Got most of the upper structure done.. fits great.. ![](https://i.ibb.co/XJrx0ZP/02-progres-6.jpg) ![](https://i.ibb.co/GtpxJqZ/02-progres-8.jpg) ![](https://i.ibb.co/vZkQ7fT/02-progres-5.jpg)
And ofcourse I will be adding some stuff.. got to make it a gipsy wagon again.. ![](https://i.ibb.co/sgd0jHx/stowage.png)
Nice to be building again!

Thanks everyone! That driver actually comes with the kit.. And nearly done with the kit, left in bits for the painting.. ![](https://i.ibb.co/hsCbgsz/03-progres-3.jpg) ![](https://i.ibb.co/86nnpB1/03-progres-2.jpg)
and the detail on this kit is really good... ammo belts for the machineguns.. ![](https://i.ibb.co/KbjxjF4/03-progres-1.jpg)

I agree.. Tamyia kits are a joy to build. Whenever you get stuck or lack the mojo... pick a Tamyia kit. ![8-)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/cool.png)
