Use the url= button, second one in from the left below the text box url=http://put.url.here]linkname[/url
Where it says linkname is where you put in the properties of the pic, in this case its
https://armorama.kitmaker.net/photos/feature/2686/dsc_7819text.jpg

In between the = and the ] where it says http://put.url.here is where you copy paste the url from at the top of the feature in the address bar, in this case its

what a coincidence, I just orderded the US HET 2 days ago. I had to sell a kidney for it so it better be a good kit

So ofcourse I would like to know how it was to build it, any hints or tips that might be useful for me?

That sure is a beautiful build there Dung, top notch paint and weathering. Do you have any plans with her later on…trailer maybe or diorama. Again great job!

I just love engineer and transportation vehicles, I would do anything to get one. I would be up to scratchbuild it but the problem would be getting the tires.

Happy Modeling,
Joe S.

Joe the tire HETS s are the same as PLS and can be found via Real model as separate kit.

Otherwise this kit is very beautyful.

There is is a little mistake with the color for the air/electrical wires a the rear end. Here the real things (on my webshots page)

What a beautiful beast My favourite dream is I buy a kit from the Accurate Armour after I won the national lottery
Well done job Dung! I like the well balanced painting and weathering.

Hi Dung

I have the same model (with trailer) It really is superb when built (26 inches long!!). I have a few finishing touches and weathering to do. I find the instructions very hard and had to use referance photos from the internet. The windows are extreamly hard to cut to size, I must have had 6 attempts at it.

You have built a very good representation of the model, well done and thanks for the photo's

Kind regards

Phil

I saw a few of these on flatbed trucks, and the coiled hoses were blue and red. Maybe its dependant on whether it is a US or Brit version.

Nice to know that! I've sent the pics of the trailer and MLRS on her to the Editors, hoping them help me to post.

The windows were my nightmare, i must cut the floor of the cabin to fix them. Cheers!

Hey guys, I've run these beasts in both the States, and Iraq. I've got a pile of pics in anticipation of starting my Accurate Armor HET tractor/trailer. The air line colors are pretty much universal, red for emergency, blue for service. These colors are seen on all types of tactical vehicles, such as PLS's, M915's, and, of course, HET's......
