Hi all,
I started the new Gaso Line kit : "French VBCI" 1/48 scale It's really a great kit but as usual it's always nice to upgrade a kit. .
My first step is the lower hull. The kit match up with the prototype. So I changed ( and added ) different things in order to build the current version use by Infantry Units.
The 2 front boxes on right side are removed and replaced by those scratch parts.
One of the 4 steering blocs .
The turret is quite finished. The Galix system is home made as you can see !
On the current version, 2 large handles have been added as well as a small step for the little door.
BTW, I added the support for bags and canvas.
That's all for today.
As always any comments are welcome !
