Escort-car for R/R....?

[chromecop]

Now that then good ol' R/R is coming back, I thought it might be good to have a nice ride for the "security-staff" escorting "Der F**rer". When watching old propaganda movies-clips from WWII there are always a Kübelwagen loaded with MP's running first in the parade. SO, here's what I'm at right now.....



I'm using a really crappy kit from a chinese manufactor (Blue Tank). The Hasegawa edition would certainly be a better object but I happend to have a pair of these crappy ones....



I've had to do a lot of scratching to give it a decent look









Seats will be "garden-style"



Chassie's almost ready.....





....and so is the body as well



Gas cap for the hood mounted filler neck is scratchbuilt and wear the old "Third Reich" VW Logo



It'll run FL plates (made using the ACME online-service and modified in Paint)



This is the stance I'm after....



Sorry about all them PIC's....

1/25 !

(Would look a bit strange with a 1/48 escorting a 1/24 R/R, right?)
