Some progress here,
-Painted the chassis with black.
-I have moved all the parts from the sprues and made all the necessary dry fits.
-Primed all parts with Mr surfacer grey except the wheels which were primed with Mr surfacer pink in order to painte them later with red color.
-Also primed with gloss black all the parts which are going to be painted with alclad chrome.
-In the end I painted with buff the wooden floor in order to use later oils for realistic wood result.

Some progress here:
-Attatched the engine and the cargo parts to the chassis.
-Finished and fitted the cabin to the chassis.Fortunately no fitting issues were found!
-Painted the wheels with tamiya white instead of using the kit's decals.
-Finished the wooden floor-I used oils raw umber and raw sienna and then I sprayed a thin coat of clear orange.
-Managed to close the engine,it was tricky enough to get all the parts together with no fitting issues.
So I can say that the contsruction has almost finished-small details are going to be fitted at the end such as bumbers-door handles-licence plates-whipers and of course the surfboard.
I will leave the kit to rest for a couple of days and then I am going to spray gloss varnish.
Thank you!
