| | **[December 2025]** Started building the basic sub-components. It's a fairly simple kit to go together - though I deviated from the instructions by leaving out the glass panels for the cab; these can only be installed before the top of the cab is added, so would make masking a pain. Instead I'll paint the entire truck first, then glue the windows in and then attach the top of the cab. |

| | The rear doors are glued open, since the truck will be refuelling aircraft in the display. |

| | I decided **not** to use the included //schwimmwagen//, as it just looked far too small next to any of the 1:72 figures that would be displayed around or //in// it. It seems more like a 1:87 part... there is **no way** any of the seated 1:72 figures I have will fit in it. |

| | **[December 26th 2025]** Assembled and painted, but not yet detailed or weathered: |
