Painting finished, using Vallejo Dark Panzer Grey and Gunmetal, but more fun was to be had when adding the wheels. The front ones had to be drilled as there was no indent for the axle stubs and the rear ones sat too low, see previous comments re suspension, so I used Evergreen strip to get a better sit. The rear looks low in the photos but I found out after much head scratching that the base is slightly warped (that makes two of us, three if you count MSea). The final photo shows it loaded with the EMW A9 which is the reason I bought it in the first place. I just need to tidy up one of my half tracks and this part of the future diorama is completed.
For a simple kit it was challenging in places but as it's the only game in town it was worth it.
