I love IBG kits. They are always the most enjoyable kits to build. I also love trucks. So this was fun times in a box from my Eastern European friends. It’s a big six wheeler cargo truck with lots of room in the back for supplies and stuff or a bunch of troops if you like. This model is a breeze to put together with plenty of well fitting parts, in nice easy to cut and glue plastic. The only things missing are some windscreen wipers, which i neglected to bother adding, and I had to redo the head light protectors. They were moulded in solid plastic so i remade them using fly screen mesh and some wire. The actual windscreens and windows are provided in clear plastic, and I always struggle to keep glue off them when adding to the cab. The rear struts over the rear cargo deck were also a little fiddly to get in the right spot. Patience required!
Nice decals as always finish him off. I added a couple of AB figures GIs having a cup of coffee and a chat amongst some boxes and barrels and small arms. Oh and a bazooka just in case they run into something more sizeable! Love IBG kits, have an armoured Chevrolet truck in the queue….. excited……..








Oooh, that’s really nice, Will! 🙂 Looks good with figures in the back as well! My Diamond T cargo truck was converted from the Matchbox tank transporter truck a very long time ago!
