Nice start!! I remember these hauling our duffles around for us during exercises!! How's the kit to build, pretty straight forward?

I noticed the front tire doesn't match the box art? Did you change that

Hi Miloslav,
Oh, I'll be keeping an eye on this one, that's for sure! Seeing as I bought this kit from you a little while back it'll be nice to see how it all comes together.
Plenty of photos Moloslav, please! And good luck with the build.
Joe.

I choose this tire because I build version with this tire pattern.

Hi Joe,
Thanks. I add next photos but I now build two GT, one tractor and some Strykers/LAVs. For that I must add photos slowly.

But you´ll still add them faster than most do anyway.
Another great start Miloslav. I love your builds ... no matter what the subject is. They´re always so cleanly built and neat. Will be watching.

Wow, this thread should be interesting!!! I never imagine how "monstruous" the M52 with the trailer is.

Good luck, i'll be waiting for your next photos

Looks like it goes together quite well. Looking foward to when you do the trailer. I spent 22 years as a mechanic in the army, and left a lot of blood and sweat working on those. Looking foward to your updates. Keep up the great work.

A great subject to build Milo! I'm interested in this to buy. Stupid question but is the M127 a flatbed trailer or does it have the container/boxes on the back?

Hi all,
Here is small update.
I added details to the cockpit and I was glued together. I also added the bumper. Now I'll add all the details on the chassis.




To be continued.
