Great job. Very good looking model. Wasn't that a fun build?

I finished one a little over a year ago. Its a great little kit.

Thank you, guys, for your comments.
I think almost all Tamiya's models are fun-builds!

I really like the weathering and the pin wash on the winch. Great model! Desert vehicles for me are hard to weather, youve done a excellent representation!
P.S whered u get the m4?

Hi Calvin,
I added the M4 from Academy's M113A3 kit - since I'm building it as an ambulance, I have no need of any types of weapons on it.

Very nice Gabe...

Another question: what did you use for the roll of wire on the hood?

Cheers,
Sean

I'm ashamed to say that I didn't put any effort on creating this wire, but added it from Academy's Tank set kit...

As previously stated, this is very nice looking and I too would like to know more about your weathering process for desert vehicles.

I was also wondering if you used the kit tires or AM resin?
