Learning some lessons from the Jackal build I left off more of the kit pieces to be painted separately (and more easily) before joining to the kit. I used some (but not all!) of the additional photo etch pieces. The tyres were swapped out for the resin ones by Rhino. I must confess that I still find 1/48 scale vehicles to be harder to deal with than either 1/35  or 1/72 scale.
