Chapter 3 - Front Details

I replaced the grillwork on the brushguards with copper wire, as Tamiya depict this as metal strips like the radiator grille. For some reason, Tamiya omitted the bonnet clips, which I added from stretched sprue and punchings cut in half. These are very obvious details and I can't think of a reason why they shouldn't be included. Tamiya did the same with their Jeep kit, and I really wonder why.
I also added 36 bolts to the grille, made from stretched sprue.
