Sorry about the poor picture quality, hopefully later pics will be more clear.

Thanks Razor. Since I am almost finished except for some more detailing, does anyone know of a eastern front/normandy paint scheme that would be accurate for this type of vehicle?

Still looking for painting ideas. Has anyone found any other paint schemes than the desert one?

Any paint scheme used for tanks would work. Early Eastern front would be Panzer Gray. after 1943 everything anywhere would be the yellow sand base with or without brown and or green overspray camo.

Thanks grockwood, that's one problem solved. But a new one has surfaced- there are noticable gaps between the door and where the other part of the hinge mounts. Without it the doors cannot open. With it, it looks unrealistic. Has anyone else encountered this problem? If so, is there an easy way to fix it?
