Hi guys, here is my entry, finally.
I think it will go into auto again, but I am sure I have no chance against proper car modellers :))) Again, as last year, this kit is a present from my wife for my birthday. I assume she prefers me building cars not tanks :))))


Unstarted thing

The wheels are very nice, each has 8 parts, so the pattern is quite authentic.

I am not done yet :)

Now I am basically waiting for small PE set from Hauler to detail it a bit and checking the references to choose the paint option.
 
Excellent start!!! I've yet to build a 1/35 automobile. I'm so accustomed to 1:24. The Tamiya Simca has inticed me a bit though. This kit looks fun as well.
 
yeah, Simca is a fantastic kit. I actually did Tamiya's 1/48 Tilly earlier. That was pure fun!
 
Oki-doki. I got my lights set today. Basic construction is finished and I am waiting for PE to come.

PE arrived yesterday and now the assembly is finished. I will start painting tomorrow ;)

The PE grille enhances the model a lot ;)

More progress here. I studied carefully the reference image I had and I think that this was a civilian vehicle painted OD when the Allies took it. Airbrush work is with Tamiya acrylics and everything else with Vallejo.

Elf lights make the difference!
