What I have to say pretty much sums it up for me: You are a good egg. Period. Cheers from Virginia Cork!

Cool kit, cool build.
For those interested, the Goat was flexible in more than one way. There were several trailer variants from ambulance to TOW anti-tank missile launcher, and there was a canvas cover for the trailer that should be easy to fake with wire framing and glue-soaked tissue paper.
They were supposed to be amphibious but were limited to slow-moving shallow water.
Definitely a ciorama candidate.

Tamiya makes a nice ambulance version too with a "canvas" cover for the wagon and driver compartment.

I am imagining plasmo working on the rear view mirrors, lenses and tires :)

I knew that there was an australian version of the Gama Got with the steering wheel on the weird side. It was very popular on the good half of the planet because with it you could drive on the ceiling.

Ok! Nice build and fun comparison to the real deal!

[@billscott1601]

Nov. 25, 2020---Thanks for the video as this is the first time I've seen the kit built. Got some photos of it via Google and videos via TH-cam. But also bought Squadron/Signal's detail in action book for more reference.
