Hi everyone, this is my first work about Truck series, some details was strach-built or remade. I used Dark Green for base, Field Green for washing, Oliver Green for cab and body and use pastel for dust and old. Happy modeling

Lighting the headlamps is a nice touch. Very nice work overall.

Very nice work on the weathering. The engine is exceptional. Application of the dirt/mud looks like this vehicle has been deployed. I've been looking at this kit every so often. And, it stays just north of my price range.

Beautiful build ... great attention to details. The paintwork and weathering are top notch as well. Nice one. Will there be a trailer and load for this?

Great job! The headlights do seem a bit too yellow even for the old headlight style. How did you light them?

Thank for your comment, I am very appreciate, I was working with the trailer M172 and building M107 (so sad I can not buy M110 because very expensive) - Welcome all comment.

Normally, when you making kit, the yellow light will be suitable with picture capturing, avoid the strong light and flash.
