Some of the material I will be using to convert the truck to a Breda 20mm truck

The Milliput for the canopy, as the kit instruction is wrong ( no chairs in the real trucks )

The styrene is for building the back of the truck

That looks like a nice comprehensive kit.
My work bench is starting to look like Portsmouth Naval Dockyard.

This is a really great set of vehicles from Matchbox and it will be interesting to see what you do with it.

A good start. I'm following this one closely.

All the best.

I love it when I can see a pack of Evergreen on the workbench -- some converting going on !!
This should be very interesting.

Sorry but I can't quite work out what is happening, are you doing some kind of conversion work to the Chevrolet or are you correcting faults in the kit?
