Willian,

Thanks for the translation, everyone can understand what was said. I think my friend Ruba, forgot that the forum's language is English.

Using as reference the set of Legend, the internet pictures, built the system and GPS tracking, my question is if the GPS antenna is integrated into the system or an external antenna is used. The antenna is integrated into the wrong monitor?

The pictures...







Thanks...

Hi Sergio,

Nice picture, could I get one for my car......... the dimensions will be useful. I can also help with the reason for the lip. Most of the SF support tracks are made by using the LVAD cab version of he truck.


Althought this picture shows the 6x6 version the 4x4 isthe same. The LVAD cab is designed to be collapsed for transporting in the C130 and then reassembled on lnading. Of course this doesn't happen with SF operators as they usually don't have time to spend 60 minutes putting the cab back on.

The SF Fitters also 'modified' a number of M1098 trucks by simply removing the top of the cab using a cutting equipment. So the lip would either be the reinforcing strip for the LVAD version or a reinforcingbar fittedat the workshops.

Brian

Hi Brian,

Again thanks for the help.

Looking closely at the photo that has put many doubts were clarified.

I believe it is still possible of correcting, since most pieces are joined together with white glue, that's why I do the pre assembly, with white glue.

Should I keep the front grille and bumper as they are, it seems that in your picture they are different from what I've seen in other photos.



I'll also have to fix the door.

Thanks for the help ...

Sérgio

Hey Sergio,

Well, I will most certainly add a minigun for my warpig if that;'s the case!
Thanks for the dimensions of the box!

I'm glad you figured the lip issue... I felt that the horizontal bar over there gave the impression of a lip. But most certainly some kind of strip would be there as Brian says..rather than to have bare cut metal sticking out!

...Your build is really looking better and better!


On a side note I recently just saw these 6x6 Uparmored versions pass down my street.! They look just Monstrous up close!!!

After Brian, put the picture of LVAD cab, did a quick search and found a profile design.



This design has served me as a basis to begin to correct the cabin.

I removed the "lips", and using pieces of plastic kit, filled in the area to be repaired.





I applied the putty, to correct the flaws.





Using sandpaper, giving the leveled surface finish.





Next step to remake the "board" of the cabin.

Hi Brian,

Good catch. It´s quite hard to find a picture of LVAD version. By any chance don´t you have an exterior shot of the cabin´s back side? I´ve been seeking this view, but no luck yet

Thanks a lot for any answer....

Sergio,
nice progress. Some of your details look far better than AM companie´s sets

Jiri

Sergio,

I ahve to say that the work you have done possibably one the best I have ever seen. Such attention to detail.

Well Done.


Paul

Would this help Jiri ?





Frenchy

Hi All,

My LVAD picture came direct from BAE who confimred the use of this cab for the SF vehicle. Here is another photo:


I think the grill and bumper will be fine, pictures of the LVAD cab sem to be very rare and I would like to see more.

Sergio great work, your truck is looking better and better.

Brian

Jiri and Paul,

Thank you.

Sérgio

Frenchy,

Taking advantage of his good will, would not have a drawing with the three views of the LVAD cab ...?
You're putting these designs, so let's enjoy ...

Sérgio...

I believe that the corrections were completed in the cabin, someone will manifest . Which speak now or forever shut up ...!!!

I had to redo the doors and the interior panels, this time leaving the lazy side, put some more details, I had to milling the bottom, because the doors did not close 100%.





The cabin is so, I believe most faithful to the real





I thank all the considerations, for without everyone's help, nothing was being done correctly.

Sérgio

Thanks a lot for your effort Frenchy. I was just curious how the cabin´s lower rear plate looks like. If there are some depressions, bulges etc. However I am not going to sponge on this thread ...sorry Sergio

Regards

Jiri

Jiri,

No need to apologize.

If you have to redo the cabin again, I want to do correctly, so I asked if Frenchy would have the drawing with the 3 views

Regards.

Sérgio

They are out there if you go looking for them. Here is a couple.








Nothing wrong with your's. What he posted was a picture of a newer built truck. The motherships seem to have been built off the older trucks.

Sorry Sergio I don't have any 3-view drawing.... But I keep searching

Frenchy

Sorry Sergio..I can't shut up yet!
Danny asked me to post these photos for you regarding the "cut down door ".



Look on the right, you can see the opened door.....
These SF guys are armed even with catapults LOL!

Hi Tony,

Thank you for sharing the pictures, I hope to use soon.

Sérgio

Frenchy,

Thank you for your effort, you're being helpful. Thanks again.

Nick,

You and Danny are cruel, evil men, I see that my weekend will not be calm.

I'll cut the doors, I hope not to lose the internal panels again.

The photos were of great help. I will make holes in the cabin at the site of hinges, also change the support of the antenna that was in the cab of the truck by placing him in the cargo bed.

In the third picture you see has two tires Super Sawmpers in support, I will remove one of the support truck tires, breaking the symmetry.

I liked the idea of the catapult, here in Brazil called "BODOQUE" or "ESTILINGUE", make sure that I'll put one in the truck, I believe give a little life in the model.

Thank you for sharing your photos.

Sérgio

Yes Sergio, you need to get all the parts correct so that when I build my Warpigs, I won't have to do the research

I think we're stressing you out LOL! You don't need to make most of the changes :

No need to cut your doors. They are the correct same horizontal cut off as the one in Catapult guy and the last pic. Only the first pic shows an angular cut off.

Also, I don't think you have to make the holes for hinges.. since the other pics show the same long handle on the cabin sides which the MOLLE pack is tied.

Your antenna support on the left rear corner inside the cabin looks correct, as some photos show the "X" antenna sticking out from there ahead of the exhaust.



I can't make out the swamper tires in the 3rd pic...looks like camo netting to me.. But it'll be nicer indeed to remove one truck tire to break symmetry.


Go for the BODOQUE..and whatever else that'll life-en your already beauty of beast!

Hi Nick,

You're smart, leaving the heavy lifting to others, in this case I.

I'll leave the door this way, I found very interesting the way they are cut, like you said, looking at the photo of the "Bodoque Sniper", I noticed the cut straight and smooth. More will not deny that I was willing to make the cut as the first photo, who knows in another model.

The antenna I mentioned is marked in red, I put where marked with yellow.



The antenna "X" UHF, positioned at the top of the snorkel appears in some pictures, in others there are as I installed. Personally I do not think the snorkel a good place to put an antenna, risky in my opinion.



Yesterday, I began to apply the primer in the model to observe possible faults.

As it stands now.







When I finish with the primer, put more pictures.

Sérgio

Sergio
Look Really good
I am waiting for the rest.
It will be full sand or with brown line ???

Cheers
Seb

Sérgio

How long do you think it will take you to paint the detail parts?
