Liking the Kübelwagen Owen!

There are afew of them around here, makes a great 'summer' vehicle........Hmmm, now theres an idea

Is the Stone chip on the petrol tank from Würth? Does the Stone chip need to be painted or can it be left as is?

Cheers

I did mine in a one car garage Owen, no heating etc so I know how hard this level of working is. I used celulose paint so finished each spray session five mile high when i stepped out into fresh air. Never quite got back to the ground after!

Just one more shiney coat and ages then putting it all back together and running.
About June finish?
