Completed 2nd small AFV GB - 2 1/2 ton truck

Modeling Subjects Armor
1

I was saving this for the D-Day GB but got impatient. I built it alongside my “Willy`s Jeep”. I will find another kit for the D-Day GB.
This is the Tamiya 2 1/2 ton cargo truck with accessories from Tamiya , Italeri and bits from my workshop. I painted the wood parts first with dark brown, then OD and then rubbed off the OD with thinners to simulate wear. I painted the chassis and engine/ running gear black initially, but applied many washes of oil and water colours to achieve the end result. The rest of the vehicle got a base coat of Humbrol US Army green and then multiple washes of oil and water colours. I think it looks OK.
Here are thi pics

Comments and advice welcome
