OK I gotta get one now..im having nasty weird thoughts 😅
If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

Like dropping a blown Hemi in the truck bed?
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Regards

The hemi idea was there but the scale rules the out Kit ...which is annoying 🙄 😒
Ken the twin Ma Duces would be a pretty much definite thing mate 😆
I am definitely thinking of adding a fav vehicle of mine to this thing ...but I have to better define the idea in my head first .

This is such a tiny vehicle. It takes a figure next to it to realize how small it is.

I'm in the final stages of this build - some extra rusting and weathering and finish harmonizing came after these pictures. The tailgate is a thin sheet of styrene. The chains are an old PE chain (in 1/350) that I made 20 years ago or so:



The cargo area isn't very rusty, because there'll be cargo taking up most of the space:



The French mechanic is unsure if the Midget can take the weight. The cargo is from Value Gear. I hadn't removed the windshield wiper mask nor added the wiper:



The Value Gear bits are just great:





I'm working on a figure to go with this (not the mechanic)

The kit is still available on HLJ.

That's Mazda T2000 pickup hard top really got my attention  :wacko:

That's looking awesome! :mellow:

But you need a few crushed carboard boxes under the main cargo load*. ;)

Beat me to it. The rust work is tremendous  :bow:
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

I'm calling this one done, mainly because I ran out of motivation.

The base is a runway section from the Academy 1/35 RQ-7B UAV kit. I chipped the edges of some of the slabs and added cracks and some grass. The straps are blue tape with PE ends.



The fuel tank covers the gap under the cargo. The rusting on the tailgate doesn't look great, but I'm done messing with it.





The figure is from the recent set, Ukrainian Tank Crew at Rest The plastic water bottle is from Meng.





Didn't do a great job on the face, but it'll do:
