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..  Started the chassis, nice change from the Dragon chasis on those M3 halftracks..  |

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..  The side doors are molded closed into the side walls, but I wanted to have one door opened...  
Made the front wheels slightly twisted because I like that more than straight.. 
Got most of the upper structure done.. fits great..   
And ofcourse I will be adding some stuff.. got to make it a gipsy wagon again.. 
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..  
and the detail on this kit is really good... ammo belts for the machineguns..  |

I agree.. Tamyia kits are a joy to build. Whenever you get stuck or lack the mojo... pick a Tamyia kit. |
