Hi guy's,

It's been a while sins I posted someting, but I haven't ben sitting still.

This is my IDF M-88.
It is the AFV M-88 with AFV tracks and accurate armour conversion set.

I am not that good with taking pictures so the colours did not come out right. I editid the first photo with photo shop to make the colours look like the real model.

I still have to do a few more things befor I can call it done.

Now that I can see it, I will say it's a very nice piece! I like the look of the tracks, and the cables on the boom are quite convincing. Paint and weathering are good, too.

Well done.

The weathering is great esp. on the front blade and tracks.

Love it, but you should really consider getting some lenses for the front headlights, the "painted on" ones detract from an otherwise outstanding finish, Resicast do some nice ones.

Cheers,

Christophe

I agree whole hartedly with you on the head lights, but at the time I thought it wouldnt really matter. next time around I will do some clear lenses.
