Ready for stowage!

The kit has some fit issues resulting in pretty large gaps between crucial parts, such as the hood and the rest of the body :( Also, there are ejector pin marks in visible places, but luckily, they're easy to scrape off with a curved hobby blade. The gaps were filled with diluted Tamiya putty - diluted with Lacquer Thinner! Now this is a game-changing trick. I've been told about it many times but never cared too much, but it really helps a lot. You apply the putty like a wash and then clean off the excess with lacquer thinner.
Some parts, such as the tailgate, have such wide gaps that they're impossible to fill. You either have to glue it in the open position, or cover it up with stowage, which is my plan.
Well, now I'm gonna fill the flatbed with ammo canisters, tent rolls, and tarps!
