Okay primed it. And found how tenuous the attachment point is for the wheels. Right wheel snapped off. They could have used a bigger tab for it and not compromised detail.
I used Vallejo Bronze Green primer.
The trailer was an exercise in aggravation. Poorly done drawings and miniscule attachment points. I glued the axles on in the wrong place. There is around peg and the back of the axle has a round hole the same size. The drawing makes you think to mate them.Instead the axle fits a step in the middle of the trailer. When you get the mud guards on you'll know if you did it wrong. The brake system on the wheels is also very fiddly. Finally got it sorted but this time I wont glue the wheels on till I'm done moving things around.

Coming along nicely James. I had the same problems that you describe with with Dragon's Sd.Kfz 7/1 with armored cab. That kit is so over engineered, the instructions leave so much to be desired that I shelved that kit, never to be touched again. In my opinion it is a $75 piece of garbage.

Thanks guys.
Well got the trailer done and primed. Started detail painting the gun. Got the tires painted. A bit more and then when trailer is finished start weathering.
Seat has a slight wood grain, but you cant see it in the pics. Noticed some sprue gates I missed on the back of the mud guards so cleaned that up ready for mud flaps. Comments and critiques welcome.
