Here's the M88 that I built for my Marine buddy. He wanted it very new looking and clean so there's no weathering to speak of, just a very light drybrush to highlight the details....it's very subtly so doesn't show too good in the photos.

Excallent job. I like it. The subdtle deal does look good. I like the attention to detail - the lights, the 50cal etc.

Good deal.

I think it looks great. LOve the camo pattern. The lights lood super and the sudtle details are great as slodder said. Good work!

Very nice built and paint job!!

Now, where's the kit of that that I have.... buried in the pile somewhere....

Awesome model...If I weren't building WW2 armor I would have to get me one of these :-)

The display stand looks good with the model...have you considered putting a plaque on it?

Really good looking vehicle dude And I`m sure the one you have built it for is really proud to have this on his shelfes. I like the camo job you did and the really light airbrushing. Further you have took really great care of the small details as was mentioned before. I also like the way you have displayed it great job

Greg:

This M88 is something to be proud of. Very nice build ---and if your friend likes it, and you like it,--- you've hit the home run. Congrats on a good looking effort.

Super job! Is that PE on the lilght guards? I remember what a pain it was getting my plastic ones off the sprue when it was first released. Ya done good!

Another great looking M-88. I love this kit. You did a fantastic job on the build. The paint is outstanding. Cheers

Greg, that's a very nice job. Nice n clean and lots of details to look for all over the model.

Wow, thanks guys!! I'm glad you all enjoyed seeing it.
Yes, I did consider a plaque for the base but in the end my girlfriend (his sister) and I decided against it since he knows what it is and it's not accurate to a specific vehicle.



It certainly is......I broke one of the plastic pieces and the other was partially broken in the box...which I ended up breaking all the way.....so a member of my local modeling club sold me a Vietnam version with the PE light guards. I also had to pirate the machine gun as the original's barrel handle was broken off.

Nice job Grifter. Haven't done much modern afv modeling but this looks like quite an interesting subject.

EXCELENT JOB - CONGRATS

Nice job!!

That's a great looking model.

Good work Gritter, the only thing that does not 100% covinces me is the tall grass that to me looks a bit too much even...
Ciao

Excellent job, great attention to detail, you should be proud of your accomplishment.

A very fine looking kit, but only a Marine would want it spit shined. In all my years, I never saw one that clean even after washrack. Plan to build one of those evetually.

Awesome piece of work.

Fantastic model. Really top notch paint job....

Very nice! How did you do the hard-edged camo?

Wow this looks awesome. There is something strange about a clean piece of armor. It looks...well...so clean. It asks to be smothered with dirt. #:-)

Most excellent Grifter! This has to be one of the coolest modern vehicles around. You have made a really fine model and Im 100% sure you friend is going to be "over the moon" with this one. Love all the details and the camo.
Have you used the right amount of "ropes" for the A-frame. There doesnt seem to be a lot of slack rope on the vehicle, or did you shorten it slighly for display purposes?

At this moment in time I am building 2 of these. AFVs with indy tracks M88A1 and also Revells M88A1G which has about 3 small extra sprues and extra PE. I want to display one with the A-frame up and the other with the A-frame down, but have been thinking how to avoid all the slack steel rope. Any other tips you may have would be handy also!
