Thanks guys and no...no surfboards :D

Bit of a update: MG fitted, fire extinguisher, shovel, front light and others blanked off, roof vent, dusty windows added. Just need some decals and it is all finished.

Love it !
The what-if genre has just got a lot wider :thumbup:

Perhaps it could be a launcher for a "Ruhrstahl X-4" disguised as a Combi :haha: :haha:
Missile pops up out of the canvas top............

I just had a thought it would really look great if you could build or source a shield to go in front of the gun like a Stug or the smaller one from a hetzer might make it a bit bulkier or at least give the gunner some cover....
