Academy 1/35 kit





For a first build this looks great! What brand and color paint did you use for the body? It looks really good.
Looks like a pretty nice job. The weathering and paint job look great. Couple pointers though. For the weapons, the ammo can holders, pintles, and weapon mounts should be painted sand as well, not gunmetal. The M60 MG on the hood is wrong too. An M60 does not have wooden grips and buttstock. They are all black resin parts. Not sure teh IDF used M60s either. Good job on it. A little tweaking and it will look great.
For historical accuracy, the vehicle is wrong for an IDF MUTT. The IDF didn't use any M151A1 versions; all theirs were M151A2s (larger front turn signals and rear lights, different shaped front fenders, one piece windshield, different rear wheel opening, etc...). Academy got that part all wrong. I used the Academy Shmira parts and added them to a Tamiya M151A2 to get an accurate IDF Patrol MUTT.
