35th scale 4x4 Opel Blitz with early troop body

Started 4 years ago, these pictures are an almost end-result (I fixed a couple of small errors since I took the pictures)

This Opel Blitz 3,6 6700A has a lowered body. That was the first designed troop carring body. Most commonly that is seen on 4x2 Blitz and MB L3000, but initially seen on the kummersdorf tests on an All-rad. That's why I kept it " factory fresh" with no markings, personal gear or dirt. It started as an excercise in "make your own PE" so painting it revealed a couple of flaws in my build.....

(The flaws in the white location marks have been fixed)

Some in progress foto's to give an idea of what it takes:
