Default My 10 year project

Yes, this Sd.Kfz 231 6 Rad was 10 years in the making. Not 10 years in a row, but I started it 10 years ago and only spent a day or two on it due to a trip to the hospital to deal with a heart attack. That was bad timing and inconvenient for my project, but I got to take a 3 day vacation in a very expensive medical resort getting some rest and relaxation. So I put that box of hobby parts on a shelf, and concentrated on rebuilding some of my critical body parts instead.

I recently did some spring cleaning and found that dust covered box and figured maybe it was time to finish it (before I'm finished). Originally it was going to be R/C, But I guess I used the R/C gear and other small parts on something else ...... there were only 10 tires left in it. So I got busy and built this thing. After I clean up a few details, some grey paint will be applied. But I only have 4 shades of grey to chose from - not 50 shades of grey. I hope it doesn't take 10 years to paint, as I have 17 other builds ahead of it "that just need paint".
