I finished her up today.
I lost the kit wipers and had to make some up. Tamiya did not supply rear lights (I don't think they used them in WWII) so I made my own. I also made the bonnet stay and the tail gate stays.
In the end I went with the tarp on the roof instead of the sign board. The reason being, if you check the WIP, you will see some bad paint on the roof, where I messed up some. I set the tarp in place to see what it looked like before the dirty cellulose thinners I soaked it in, had dried properly. DOH!!!
It's not meant to be super shiney. It's meant to represent an ex WWII Tilly sold to a civilian garage owner, who has given it a quick 'flash' paint job. It will eventually be placed on the forecourt of my 'Mile End garage' diorama.
Should've dusted it first!!! LOL
