Regarding decals, what’s provided in the kit is not surprisingly extremely limited. In addition to the instrument dials only a pair of licence plates along with a 'prototype' plate are included. Interestingly they don't copy the ones that are found on the restored vehicle! Both licence plates were added and sealed with varnish.
As regards to wheel options, I’m not a fan of the kit’s vinyl tyres. To date I could not find anybody producing a resin aftermarket set and this is one of the reasons I originally purchased Modellbau’s resin solid tyred wheels. They do look extremely spindly from a frontal perspective but I do like these as they are very unique.
I have however since found another pneumatic tyred set that could work. Although I have no proof of whether the hub bolt pattern was compatible, and to be honest, it’s not visually obvious if not, their chunky allied off-road tread really does give the vehicle a more purposeful stance.

I adapted the fixing points on all three alternative front wheel sets so as they will fit snugly onto the kit axle without the need to be fixed permanently. I can then easily interchange and display them should I wish to.
