Very subtle angle iron frame additions to the interior super structure, subtle as it's hard to appreciate the detail and the photos are not so good but if you look hard they are there. They will stand out a little more with some highlighting later.

I have tucked the rear lights under the body out of harms way, I have researched many examples and the rear lights seem to be all over the shop including down low like these.

Its good to take these photos and scrutinise them thoroughly and then make changes until it all looks just right.

First coat of paint, not sure if I like it or not yet, we will see after some subtle weathering. Still have bolt holes to hide and some painted detail to add.

Well I don't think that DBG works in 1/6th scale so now its desert yellow for the Tunisia campaign , it's the contrast that I was looking for so I will keep the interior green and use the green undercoat of the body for the weathering process which I have already started.
