Good time of day guys,

Would like to share pics of my newly completed MAN 7t Revell kit. Would be great to know what you think of the result.

Cheers!

Great work! Thanks for posting. Which aftermarket wheels did you use?

Very nice! Is it strictly OOB, or did you add AM stuff? (I haven't seen the base kit so don't know what it is like.)

Thanks for showing us what can be acheived!

What makes this model for me is the tie-downs and ropes along each side. This looks perfect. Something that is usually weak on soft shkins like this. The tread on the tyres looks quite good ... are these aftermarket wheels?
It looks good ... how much work did you do to the base kit?

Thanks for all the comments!

This model has been built OOB 100%, wheels and all, no aftermarket parts whatsoever. The sprues in typical Revell fashion look quite coarse, but build into a decent looking truck.

The tie downs on the canvas are actually part of the side panel molding, which adds to their realism.

I thoroughly enjoyed building this kit, and it only took about 4 days.
