The kit chassis is a one piece item
Front axle and suspension added
Sprockets and idlers I will be using
Front wheels fixed at full lock
Sandwhich design front wheels
Drivers side vision port (original plastic part)
Reworked passenger side vision port reduced in size
No front vision blocks are provide with the kit so you will have to source/make your own if displaying them open
Cab floor moulding
Production fuel filler cab extension made from stretched sprue
Cab floor, cab roof and loadbed test fitted to chassis
Loadbed assembly
Running gear test fitted to chassis and tracks
The kits engineering of the suspension allows for extreme wheel articulation
The
cab bulkhead is included in the kit but strangely not called out. As
per the N & B reference diagram I used it and added the cut outs for
the small arms storage. The racks were sourced from the parts bin
Bulkhead to cab welding was added with stretched sprue
When it comes to the cab interior no mention of any radio devices are mentioned in the N & B reference book. However, the kit does supply one as well as a whole bunch of electrical boxes you are instructed to add on the passenger side wall. This is where you need to make a decision. If you want to add the bulkhead and add both rifle racks, the electrical boxes will be in the way on the passenger side! I had already added the radio and electrical boxes so rather than re-work this area
I decided on a bit of artistic licence and added weld marks where the
outside rifle rack had once been.
Witness marks on the underside of the cab roof which aids removal of a section of roof on all the flak variant kits.
