Hello all!
I would love to participate in this nice SiG with Tamiya's 1/35 British SAS kit.
This entry will be a neat little, cheap and tidy little diorama.
I do hope to try something new and show it best i can
Who Dares Wins

The build is fairly easy at this stage. Some filler here and there but overall, a fun little gem
Ready to prime tomorrow morning

And here's the vehicle completed.
Time for some stowage then weathering!

Looks great. I done this kit last year!! Fair play for old figures you've painted them well.

Nice progres so far
It is one of the iconic specialized vehicles of WWII and in my opinion one of the best looking with all the guns they added to it
I don't know if it is a real/original one but there is one of these jeeps in the Dutch War and Resistance museum so i had the chance to see it up close but it can be a reproduced vehicle
I like the chipped look of this build
Allthough the jeep is a basic design you can add so much character to these SAS vehicles
Keep up the good work
