@Johnnych01 thanks John, I tried AK goauche paints for the base dust weathering as I was worried about enamels on the kit rubber parts. I am happy with how it turned out.

Nice find with those figures Colin, they should be just about perfect for that scene and the trailer is looking brilliant Alex, fantastic weathering on it, and a great worn desert look

I realy like the idea of that crashed plane!!
And that trailer looks fantastic!!

My combination is moving slowly, but added oil spillings on the Fuchs and trailerdeck, to show why it needs a piggy back..

She does but it was too late at night to start messing with CA glue plus I want to paint underneath just in case you can see thru. Still have more plastic to add with tool brackets as most Bulgarian vehicles never seem to have any tools attached to the vehicles.

@bwilt Fantastic build, Bert! Love the heavy weathering on the transporter vs. the clean Fuchs. Excellent details.

Congrats on finishing :slight_smile:
