Hi fellow modellers...

Íīm falling into the dark side.... seeing the work from Barv, Ti, rtc, encouraged me to start a major scratch project, build a truck of the Chilean Marines, a modified FIAT CL-90. No blueprints, only a couple of pics available.... so accuracy itīs not an issue right now :-) :-)

Couldnīt wait the start of the scratch builders campaign, so another one will be done for it...

Donor kit, Revell GAZ 66....

Here is what I have until now, after 9 hours and 45 minutes of work:
