Hi, I bought this kit a couple of weeks ago at Hinckley model show and in true Airfix tradition I cracked open the box and got to work on it as soon as I got home, just like back in the day! One thing that wasn't done back then was a bit of Googling, and after a bit of that I noticed a couple of things, maybe theres more?, that Airfix had missed. Both of these are easily fixed if you are bothered about such things, so it was out with some Evergreen rod and the hex punch and die for the first thing missing, which are the filling necks on the fuel tanks. Next up was to replicate the missing towing lugs on the front bumper, for these I used copper wire. I added a p/e licence plate at this time as well. I drilled out the ends of the nudge bar or whatever its called! Little things like this make all the difference. After thinning down the mud guards and rear canvass flap I made up all the sum assemblies. Followed by making sure everything fit together ok. Rear German licence plate fitted at this time as well. I must say after the slog that was building up my ZM Ta152H kit, seen else where on here, this kit was just a pleasure to do. I managed to get a little paint on it before I managed to break my finger so will try and get some pics tomorrow and post them up. Cheers, Tim.

Hi all, this is my Gaz MM, I used the Hauler p/e set with it which includes the mud guards, rear window frames, dash board, wood saw and dash board etc. As this is modelled as one captured, in this case by the Luftwaffe I've added a German licence plate and used a mask to spray a Balkenkruez on the roof. For the weathering I've used oils, various Wilder filters, Wilder textured mud and Wilder pigments, all of which I found to be excellent. Build thread of sorts here http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234980273-148-tamiya-gaz-mm/ It could stand a little more weathering I think but that can be done when I get myself into gear and knock up some sort of base to put it on. The barrels are from Black Dog and the stand from Smokey Bottom. Comments welcome. Tim.

I thought I'd share a few pics I took whilst I was building this over the Christmas holiday, what a great little kit to which I added the Hauler p/e set available for it. Started of removing the plastic mud guards and replacing them with the p/e ones out of the set. These were soldered together. Then fixed onto the chassis with CA, I also added some nuts to the leave spring mountings, made from punched Evergreen. Included in the set is this saw, made up from 3 parts, again soldered. I added some timber frame work to the inside of the cab. Also cut out and added the small window at the rear. A quick dry fit to make sure everything was ok fit wise. Time for some paint. Primer layer on cab. Wood, primer, black chipped. The mud guards still in primer plus areas of rust added. Next up the wooden body. Over view of sub assemblies. Russian green added and chipped/worn away. Next up weathering. Comments welcome. Tim.
