Got a fair bit done today, lots of really small pieces on the hull, hull and chassis joined, wire bits added and painted. If anyone is going to try this I suggest Tamiya XF62 for colour matching edges and wire parts. It's not perfect but it certainly is close enough, I was lucky enough to have some old stuff lying around here. Many of the parts are repetitious but if you just production line them it's not so bad, you need a steady hand hand though, some of the parts are TINY. No fit problems at all everything fits beautifully. The 28 wheels are going to be a challenge though. I domed the fuel caps and curved the shovel..it looks OK. Bones
