Model M1133 MEV Trumpeter looks good. Aside from bugs like the RWS or very bad copy of soda boxes and menu boxes. As always, you need to do an anti sleep surface.
I cut off the bolts and washers provided at all the places where I do an anti sleep surface.
I also filled all the big holes on the sides, because I will use the new update set from my production - RMA 35216.
Area Commander, I used the car from AFV Club. It is better executed and I use transparent periscopes. I have a lot of AFV hull top, because I used a lot of the lower hull structure for my conversion sets (Stryker and LAV III)

Thanks for your efforts to upgrade last trumpeter kits.
I did not see on my refs pics anti-slip on MEV, maybe I am wrong. Please advice.

Great addition of using AFV Club TC hatch, next time ship me some TC hatches

The new RWS is great i think.

Are you going to add bags and extra on this kit ??

Are you going to fix the issue on the missing panel on the rear door ??

We keep in touch
Great start
Cheers

Which panel you think?

Great to see you two guys doing this kit. I like the uniqueness of this variant. There aren't a lot of photos around of the MEV.

Anyway, Seb, here are a couple of photos of the non slip texture on the roof.





I have a friend that plans on doing this in the future. Finish up that SP gun Brian. I want to see what you are going to do with this too.

Hi Bob,
How are you?
Thanks in your photos. There is very good to see that again Trumpeter did a poor job. The rear upper part of the shape does not. The ratio of each part is very different. Trumpeter has the same front and middle part. The real vehicle is different. This again shows an e model from Trumpeter is too short. Also, the side panels at the rear are poorly outlined.
Cheers
Miloslav

looks like the start of another great build Milo looking forward to seeing this progress.

Thanks Scott.

You can see that kit # WB5 is for the rear Red cross. But it is missing half of it as well as the attaching point similar than the kit #WB12 as seen for the front red cross. It seems that trumpeter tried to represent this panel closed.

@ Rob nice pics well this one will not have anti-slip. and thanks for your nice comments


Cheers
Seb

Thanks Seb,

Here is some photos from build progress. I used some parts from AFV, because they are better quality.
