Hi All

I'm new to the forums but not to modelling. I just recently got into modern military models and have decent plans for the Kinetic Maxxpro I am currently working on for a diorama with figurines. However, i have been scratching my head at the tiny mechanical looking bits on the K sprue tree. There are a lot of little bits that look like radios or other hardware. Does anyone know what these are??

That is a sprue that is shared with their earlier M-ATV kit. Some of the parts are listed as "Not Used" on the instructions. They are actually radio parts and a Rhino anti-IED device that can be used on the MaxxPro, see below.

I did a full review of the Kinetic MaxxPro MRAP here that you can look at as well.

Excellent! I thought that is maybe what it was but wasn't sure if instructions just assumed the used would know what it is. Thanks!
