This is my contribution to the Group Build.

I've had this in my stash for a while and now is the perfect opportunity to do something with it.
I'm looking forward to getting started on this one.
Cheers,
Vincent

This one will be strictly OOB, no damage, no rust...........nah, just joking.
It will be the subject of some damage, the extent of which I'm not sure of yet. I have some things in mind for it that I've wanted to do for a while.
Cheers,
Vincent

Burning is a distinct possibility Steve.
Figures I'm not so sure of at this stage.

Thanks Rob. You can stay but consider this is your first warning for the unauthorised use of a pun....

I was hoping you would do the Zvezda. But this will be a much nicer truck.
Don't burn it. Trucks and Jeeps and tractors are the steadfast and noble workhorses of any army. They deserve our love, not our lighters.

Sorry John.
As you know I was going to do the Zvezda but for the sake of variety in the GB I figured I should do something else.
I have quite a few trucks in my stash so I do appreciate the contribution they made. Of course, the fact they look cool helps too.
Let's see what develops as I work through the build.
Cheers,
Vincent

I forgot to say that I'll also be putting on one of the High Side trays from MR Modellbau for a different look.

The parts look quite nice and I have my fingers crossed that they will fit together with a minimum of fuss.
Any reference pics of this tray configuration would be very much appreciated.
Cheers,
Vincent
