Merci à vous mais en vérité cela se monte trés bien il faut juste choisir un bon moment bien au "calme" et une grosse boite de relaxant !!!!

Un set d'EDUARD, les chenilles FRIUL et le set de ACURATE ARMOR. Figurines BLAST MODEL.

Trés content que le montage vous plaise? coté peinture c'est un ami qui meurent d'envie de le peindre qui s'en chargera. Un virtuose qui j'ensuis sur assurera sa tache avec talent. La suite dans STEELMASTER.

merci encore

Thank you, but in truth it came very well we just pick a good moment well "calm" and a large box of relaxing!!

A set of EDUARD, caterpillars FRIUL and set ACURATE ARMOR. Figures BLAST MODEL.

Very pleased that the mounting you like? hand painting is a friend who die of want to paint to deal with it. A virtuoso on which j'ensuis ensure its spot with talent. The result in STEELMASTER.

thank you again

Very nice work on the slat armour and the added details.

I have a very similar project planned with the same detail sets and parts you have used....good to see them all together.

Are you going to add the rear door slat armour?

I too completed this project some time ago, complete with the AA clansman interior.
I notice you have yet to finish the rear door?
I enjoyed the challenge, I hope you did as well.
A satisfying build, well done on yours.

keith.

Hello
The unpainted warrior looks very high on its suspensions!
It's wellknow that the academy's warrior sits 4mm too high, Pierric it's perhaps time to lowered the suspension if possible!!!

It's a myth that all magazine writers don't pay their AM. Even if a few ones receives somes part that were send to the magazine, most of modellers who writes articles buy with their own money AM/models/tracks.
I did a few articles and paid mine.

Pour la maquette c'est de ma reserve personelle, quand à la photodécoupe et les chenilles ont été acheter par mes soins . seul le kit Acurate Armor m'a été fournit par la rédaction de STEEL MASTER.

For the model is my personal reserve, when the photodécoupe and caterpillars were purchased by my care. only the kit Acurate Armor I have been provided by writing STEEL MASTER.

Very impressive. I wonder how much time you've put into that build.

I was wondering if the front extinguisher mount should be the later style with cage around it but who cares with all the slat armor to look at.

Gareth, I am in the process of building the Academy Warrior Iraq. Terry Ashley mentioned in his review that the open bin on the right side of the vehicle was armoured. I could not find any photo of this bin anywhere. I know that they replaced the screens with metal but does it have a metal cover as well?

Great build, looks really well. How will the painting be done with everything already assembled? Presumably you can take the tracks off etc and the driver out?
