great job so far Pascal!
The model looks very nice, and love the weathering on the tires and the tinted windows.
How is the kit itself? any downsides to it? think I'am gonna buy it aswell

Boris read the entire post, I'am thinking that all about the kit is said.

No new pics as I'am working on the decals for a different unit as those in the decal sheet.

Outstanding my friend! I'm new to Armor modeling. I recently visited a friend in San Antonio. A fellow truck modeler and he showed me the Hobby Boss M1070 and the Real Model engine kit, I was hooked. I have the M1070 on my bench now. This Bronco it will be my next armor kit. I've got a lot to learn but I feel like I'm going through the express lane reading this message board Thanks guys!

Hi Guy's

I want to build my kit of this beast however I'm still after photos I wish to build an Australian operated version as we have loaned two canadian versions for operations in Afghanistan. Any help would be appreciated.

This build looks fantastic by the way well done.

Thanks
Peter

Hi!

Seeing these photos, I guess the big box in Blast’s set would be the "destination" of the ECM antenna cables.

Am I rigth?

Thank you!

Looking forward to seeing the bar armour

Yes the brake lines looks very good, please tell us what you have used around the cable....
I will follow this build.....
Will you add some aftermarket things to the buffalo?
I know your buffalo will look amazing when it's ready... As all your kits do that.

Really good job on it, looks allot like the ones I was working around last year in Afghan, its funny to see the size of one of them compared to HUMVEE's or British Foxhounds, its like an absolute monster truck!! but its looking really good, so so much like the real beasts keeping the men and women of ISAF safe. Good job!!
