Here's my latest build of the YPR of the Royal Dutch Army in Afghanistan.
It's AFV Club with PE stowage racks also from AFV Club. Painted with Tamiya and Vallejo acrylics, weathred with oils and Mig pigments. Stowage is from Legend and Verlinden, figures are also from verlinden with some minor changes on the heads.

Here are the pics and excuses for some poor quality , photografy is not my best thing.....but hope you like them.

Hi,
your model looks good but would deserve better pictures to be fully appreciated.
Are the tracks vinyl ones or seperate links ones ?

Olivier

Very nice job! Love the streeking on the sides.

As far as pics go, try using a light blue poster board as a background, it might help with the focus.

Are the decals in the kit or AM?

cheers

Nice build, this vehicle is one of my favorites (well, being and offshoot of the M-113, no surprise

The figures, stowage, paint scheme and weathering really adds life to the build. Looks great in my opinion, the pics can be improved but you´ll learn in time

Congrats and thanks for sharing.

Cheers

Nice to see a YPR combat loaded. Great details on the stowage.

Is the desert paint scheme just a partial overpaint of the NATO colors?

Patrick,

Great build. Outstanding work through the whole thing. Even with the slight off focus photos you have captured the essence of hard working fighting vehicle. Again outstanding work.

Very nice,

I was wondering when the 1st dutch YPR in Afghanistan would be posted!

Great looking track. The Dutch camoflage on the body armour looks spot on.

Out-standing , very well done , great figures , great stowage , love the paintwork , give yourself a pat on the back .

Very nice job--I really like the lived-in look of the vehicle and the weathering.

Great Job Patrick! Beautifully done figures that have a touch of realism to them and I really like your weathering on the vehicle. I'm working on that very kit right now and it was both really motivating to see your awesome work and nice to see a vehicle from the Afghanistan theatre for a change.

Thanks for the comments guys! I think I will make a small dio with a standing figure next to it at a later time and then try to make some better pics.

@ Olivier: the tracks are vinyl and are in the box.

@ Rick: The decals are in the kit.

@ Paul: yes it is, here are some pics:

Very nice job! I especially like the job you did on the figures. That is something that I can never seem to get right.

Aloha Patrick!

Have you seen any picture's of this vehicle in use in Afghanistan without the add on armour sides? I thought I saw a You Tube video of one but for the life of me can't seem to find any information now.
And the "mud" paint over the Nato camo was that airbrushed or hand painted?

Thanks Much!!

The other variant with the ACAV turret and the .50 Cal MG has been uparmored as well :
