Yep, I recently finished this kit for my weekend GB. Sorry, don’t have any pics. First off, I’m almost certain that those tires are all wrong, and completely undersize, but that’s just me.
Make sure the frame is lined up nice and square, as everything else sits squarely on it. The fit of the cabin was fine, and the same with the bed. I ended up not using the moulded in bed cover, but scratcbuilt rails so that I could show it open.
There was a galery on www.armorama.com that had quite a few pics of the truck, taken very recently in Iraq. I don’t know where they have it on the site now, but check it out, and look around, it’s gotta be there somewhere.
Check out these links for a great review, build article, and a list of resin update sets. Yes, the wheels are reported as undersized.
