I wonder if someone knows a site with a kind of walk around pics of this vehicle?

Ran into some fit problems when trying to attach the rear panel. The pane itself was about 0.75mm wider than the previously attached wheelhouses to the left and right of the body. I couldn´t find a way to make the rear wall fit... Wheelhouses had a positive fit as indicated on the body parts. Weird...
I decided to make use of my trusty UMM scriber and pulled the rear parts of the wheelhouses off the body, doing so breaking the glued areas loose. Front parts of the wheelhouses remained in place. Doing so I managed to make the rear wall fit! No pictures so far, as the parts now will take their time to glue again.

Thanks!
Still working on it here and there. Progress got slower by lots of smaller parts and due to sanding / filling. Still waiting for the DEF Model wheels to arrive. Left Hong Kong about 12 days ago by airmail! I guess the wheels arrived in Germany the next day, only to get stuck in customs for the rest of this time so far...
