I’m calling this one done, just in time before the broom wagon sweeps me up

Love the paint. Great build as well.

Nicely done Jakko. The finish is excellent. An unusual take on a familiar vehicle.
Not sure about the position of the kepi though, being red and centrally placed like that it looks a bit like an emergency vehicle signal beacon.

Beautiful

Great finish there Jakko. The external colouring finish looks great and I really like the internal weathering

Thanks, all

Now you mention it, it does a bit, yes … But part of the reason it’s there, is to hide the hole in the roof that the machine gun pintle mount goes into. I don’t know what the roof looks like when that isn’t there, so I decided to hide it with something that could reasonably be on the vehicle.

That's really nice Jakko ..

I like that mate - unusual slant on a familiar vehicle (echoing earlier comments!), very good model!
