Well, I'm doing both.

1 - There are no chairs in a 30CWT

2 - Converting the old truck into a breda one

Please excuse my ignorance but is the Breda gun supplied with the kit or from another kit?
My work bench is starting to look like Portsmouth Naval Dockyard.

No, it is from Italeri kit 1/72 Sahariana.
The scale is different, but it maches perfectly.

As I need a different head gear an LRDG , I will change one for a soldier in Hat's kit (bedouins) for the desert camo

The weels are gathered, I took off the gun as it needs repair
