A couple of points to note

The semicircular liners for the wheel boxes are not needed. The square wheel boxes are instead just lined with thin metal sheet on the road side to protect from muck and stones

The Italian Campaign Light Mud Scheme actually has a black disruptive pattern applied over the base colour. This pattern was standardised within the instructions published by MiddleEast Command. The pattern can be found in the Warpaint series of books or in Mike Starmer’s book on Sicily/Italy colours

It is great to see more soft-skin vehicles offered.

After seeing reviews on the tanker version (of which I purchased), I bought this little goodie, sight unseen, immediately after it's release. "Gloriously detailed with finely tuned engineering".

Damn...did I just come up with a t-shirt slogan?
