Plenty of work with that rear. Little update here.
The most curvy parts have been added. I used toilet paper and white glue. I have to finish at this point today and leave it to dry. There'll be a lot of polishing and spackling tomorrow.

Do you know why the back wall of this truck was constructed this way?Shouldn't it be a loading gate there of some sort?

Edit-there is a compartment there.Good walkaround video:

WC6 on that video is quite odd-looking. It was probably modified after war. Backseat attached higher and different shapes(straight) of the lower edges in the back. Looks like there were two versions of the rear, slanted and straight. Also I've noticed that some WC6s had a frame for a shovel and other tools on the trunk lid.
I've chosen slanted version without tools.
Pictures of these different WC6s here:

And here's the progress on the model. Applied putty and once again I have to leave it to dry.
Then I'll have to make these surfaces smooth.

Acrylic putty. I showed it on some pictures in the earlier posts here.
EDIT: it's in the post #22

Yes, I saw it, but what the package says is undecipherable to me.

I believe the rather large "bum" was intended for the radio gear of the time.

...and here's the final result. Now that rear looks like a real WC6. Maybe it's not really appealing in this condition but I'm sure it will look better when I paint it.

Not to mention king sized batteries.I bet it was hard to use radio with engine running just few feet away and tail pipe right under ones nose.
