Roden Opel 3.6-47 DAK Omnibus Kubel Paint 3/5/22

Thanks guys! I got more done yesterday, but ran out of weekend to post. More to come. :Drinks:
 
Thanks Terry and Ian! As promised, more progress photos.

I added some dirty effects to the chassis prior to assembly. Nature Effects from AMMO is cool stuff, brush it on, let it dry and then use a stiff brush to remove what you don't want. Leaves a realistic accumulation in the corners and crevices.

I outfoxed myself. I had intended to add a set of DEF Models balloon tires, but I installed the kit wheel backs before the DEF kit arrived. The wheel backs are molded into the tires! :doh: So, I'll save them for another build.
The body assembled easily, the last few small bits were added after everything was squared up and dry.

A little body damage. On to the paint shop, a little Tamiya German Gray.

I added a wood plank riser to make the tool box installation easier.

I'll touch up the exhausts after all the painting is done. Much more to come, thanks for coming by! :Drinks:
