Hello Christophe,
I recently finished building theis kit and what to do to it really depends on what level of detail you want on it. The one I built was mainly OOB, and the level of detail was just fine.
SOme of the finer points:
1. Keeping all the linkages working is a real challenge. If you really want all the parts to be movable, I would recomend painting and weathering the beast in the smallest subassemblies as possible.
2. The decals for the rear fender of the trailer are quite fragile and can be a terror ride...they wrap around beautifully, but you have about 5 seconds to work with them. And I recomend you put the middle of the three on first and then the two end ones.
3. The tissue paper and white glue for a tarp worked just fine for me.
4. Keep test-fitting the driver...he can get squeezed real tight between the seat and the steering wheel.
