Seems to me that Tamiya really dropped the ball by not including a dash decal or even a painting diagram. There's plenty of room on the instruction sheet at the top right of step 10 to put a painting diagram, for gosh sakes! The featureless dials do make it easier to use the Archer rub-ons. 'Course, Tamiya also give us nothing to see behind the nicely open grill.

Glenn, I have an old set of The Show Modelling 9-hole wheels for the "Cargo Truck" (do you notice that Tamiya doesn't even use "Opel Blitz" in the history write-up, let alone on the grill ornament?!). Are these the correct wheels for the suspension springs as given in the Tamiya kit?

Looking good so far!
Yrs,
CTew
