I didn't do much here. Panel lined where applicable, painted the red tarp green (felt the red was too busy and why the hell the Joes have a red tarp?) and detailed the the rear 30s. I painted the inside of the engine compartment, hood and engine. Leaned into CLutch's "Rockabilly" demeanor and painted the header red. Then gave the whole thing a matte top coat. Also replaced the winch rope.
I may add an OG cannon once I find one I like. Sorry the pics aren't the best.

My one gripe is the turret itself. Mine does not clip on super securely to the body like I would expect, so rotating it often ends up rotating the base of the turret as well, which is annoying. Also not a fan of how unclear it is where the ammo cases are supposed to go on. The instructions don't even use the shelf and show them to the sides on the bed, which negates it even being able to rotate. The way that feels most natural for them, resting on the long end, leaves them loose and floppy on the shelf, with the rubber ammo constantly pushing them up. I finally just set them up on the short side so they're at lead somewhat secure under the base of the guns, but it looks weird to me like that, and even that isn't really tight like I would want them.

10/10 for me. A relatively perfect release.

Thanks guys. I used hemp rope I snagged in the hobby section at Walmart. I toyed with Spiderwire fishing line or a thin braided wire. Landed on the brown rope because it just read better. I used Mr Super Clear Matte for the top. But ran out and didn't have another can. So I grabbed Krylon MAtte from the hobby section at WalMart. FANTASTIC results and hinestly cannot tell the differences in finishes. And it's $6.50 for a large can. The crazy part? I finished this 3 days after eye surgery. I had a "Spontaneous Retinal Detachment". So I had to do this thing one-eyed. That was...a challenge. LOL

100% a 10. This is a fantastic vehicle and Hasbro did a great job giving us something, like this, for 100 dollars. My only nitpick, and it isn't enough to take off a point, is the ammo boxes are easy to knock out of place. I would have preferred some way to peg them in to that shelf.
