IBG 1/35 Otter Armoured Car - Canadian GB miss

Managed to get this finished in time for the end of the GB after all. Think I may have to get the APC variant (would do the ambulance as well but that is Mirror Models so a more complex build). Annoyed with the orange peel Matt varnish but hey ho, lesson learnt -

Ok, so 3 split, only one of which went through to outer surface.... Have used some sprue melted in glue to patch it so not lost at all.... The fit is very snug and you can almost see the stress line that the glue attacks.... Maybe using revell type rather than extra thin would've worked.... Anyway these are the 2 worst. Will stick with these and not splash on AM -

Seems.to.be that the inserts split the rims..... A few videos and.build reviews mention it... But yes the whole assembly looks fiddly -

Going with the IBG Rosomak BUT have heard the wheels are fragile... Am I ok to build just them before GB start to see if I need after market ones? -
All done bar the wing mirrors.... Ammo washable dust added around the lower body and wheels...

Beginning to think I won't be able to get a kit built in this time frame. I lose all of December for Christmas so left with 2 months.... May start something if thats ok but can't promise to finish -
That's the plan....

Won't use green when doing the filters, should allow it to go more brown -
