Karl that’s for the thoughtful positive comments. It is a very compact little vehicle and hard to negotiate the build so it could be handled during painting/assembly. My usual MO is to build in as many smaller sub assemblies as I can, painting before assembly then carefully reassemble. In order for me to do the interior the way I wanted I cut the roof off where the windshield surface meets the roof, then reassemble. I built my VAB
which is also French so my mind was kind in the Mali French mode. I had some of the Live Resin parts and some Blast stuff from the previous build as well. The VAB taught me to look at the Mali weathering and modifications and I tried to be a bit more considered about the weathering because some are very “red”.
