But I did send you an email with the other pics, if there is any problem with them let me know and I will send them again.
Cheers.
Todd.

Fantastic work! I think the paint and weathering is outstanding....the paint chips and dusting is top notch.

Absolutely amazing. I plan on throwing this kit into the rotation for my new obsession with modern vehicles. Do you think you could send me a PM with the resources you used? Also, what mixture did you use to get the base color?

This is a beauty. You did a excellent job on the finish. I was a little unsure how the fenders/flaps were going to look, they turned out great.

Melnikov Anton;
Cheers mate . Fantastic build. I like your suttle shading & weathering(excellent execution).
The base color looks spot on. I read this whole post from the start, and your personal additions in detail and features of the vehicle, are very convincing. You should enter it in MOTM. Very nice Buffalo.
I am currently in TX searving the flag, learning about all Models of MRAP, for future deployment to Afganastan 2011.
So its cool to be able to build in minature, what we see in 1/1. Some day I hope to add a Buffalo and a Caiman to my collection too.
