Love this one, tojo. Tons of real life detail and dusty weathering.
My only question: where’re the Tommies who’ve left their SMLEs in the racks!?

Another question is why are they not #4 Rifles? They could be Mk III* in the desert. Mind SAS were also like to be seen with Ross Mk III rifles and the odd Pattern 1913.
Those trucks got used both for cargo and for troops, so a person could fit them out to have 6-8 dudes aboard (and all their gear), or just the two (and a bunch of cargo).

I just build out of box for the most part,not overly concerned with accuracy,I just build for fun.

I sure hope you didn’t take my comment as criticism! Was just having some fun, as someone who’s just beginning to dabble in figures myself, and that kit’s just begging for some. But as-is, it’s a wonderful build and the weathering is supremely lifelike. I can’t stop looking at the leather bench seat 
and I love the map.
In fact, I must admit it sent me down a lengthy Wikipedia rabbit hole the other night all about the Long Range Desert Group.

No criticism is fine,I just dont get involved as to whether its the right rifle or the wrong pack etc…etc.
I’ve had a lot of compliments on rhe seat and cant be sure f I could replicate the process,I know I started with Tamiya XF-64 and went with washes and pigments
I like to add figures,but sometimes cost or suitability come into play.

Same here, I’d drive myself literally insane if I went for accuracy. Outa the box with a few modifications just because. I enjoy it a lot more that way.
