Work in progress Tamiya/Kirin [img]img]

Hey, nice work, I see you added the searchlight-which I'll be adding to mine too..
How about more photos?

Nick

Looking nice. Do you have more pics? And why do you make so many topics?

Lars

good looking Amtrack. Do show some more pictures, and if you need any help detailing or making sure things are accurate, let me know. I am a former AAVP crewman/crewchief.

one thing i hope you didnt do is leave the "buckets", or the water jet defelctors, in the open position. When driving on land, these automaticly close, because you put the whole vehicle into land mode. What also happens in land mode is the coolant gets redirected to a contact cooler on the bottom of the hull (works while in the water, as the water passing by the vehicle transfers the heat out of the coolant through the hull and keeps the coolant nice and cool), the cooling fan shuts off, and the vents on the top of the hull for cooling air for the raidiator get closed up tight! How many desert dios have I seen with the AAVP driving across the sands of Iraq with the water jets wide open. yeah, if that really happened, you would over heat the engine in about 15 minutes!

anyway, post some more pics!
