Diopark Field Modified Civilian Truck

I've now really cracked on with this kit and am very impressed with the details and the speed of construction. Probably helped by an almost full day at the bench I might add! On first look there seems to be a lot of parts to this model but once you get started it very quickly takes shape. The plastic is slightly soft and some of the smaller parts do bend quite alarmingly during clean up. Also the kit suffers from some overly large attachment points on the sprues. But by being careful you can avoid any disasters.

It's also easy to build this up in sub assemblies for ease of painting later and the fit of parts is excellent. With just a few dabs of filler needed on the cab flour and the rear of the seats requiring filling with plastic card it soon builds up into a recognisable vehicle. I particularly like the tyres which have a great tread pattern and the very fine tie down hooks on the sides of the rear bed. 

I also liked the fact that Diopark give you the option of a left or right handed vehicle with the inclusion of two types of dashboard and three different steering setups for straight on, left or right turning front wheels.
