These are great little kits. With the addition of the detail set you should have a very impressive build.
Will the finished product be on a diorama?

Cheers,

You should have taken it in easy stages and built a Schwimmwagen first…

Well, if you wanted to do a DAK vehicle I’m not sure a Schwimmwagen would be appropriate; I can’t recall seeing one with Sand Tyres…
I had considered building the Tamiya Schwimmy as a '60’s Beach Buggy with Hippie Flower Power paint and surf boards but I think someone had beaten me to it.

Looks great Mark. I’ve not built the DAK one, but built lots of normal ones and they are lovely little kits to build. There’s some great extras in yours and the stowage looks great :+1::+1:
