Of for fecks sake!
I've only undercoated it this morning . lol

Nicely done Jon it's a fiddly little begger ;)
I particularly like the insignia a really nice touch.

Tim there's a little hint in the picture.

These were taken to France (pic dated 1939 mk2s made in '37) those that made it back along with the ones in the UK were converted in to bren then universal mk1s.(pic dated 1943.)
Are you planning on colouring in any of the options for the cars ?

Only *tricky* bit was working out which passenger goes where - dry fit first and marked up the corks before painting so once done they could be dropped in without issue  8)

Probably not right but 'near enough' and they were decals I already had in the bits box
