Hi gents can I sign up for this one with kinetics m-atv
I will enjoy watching that build. Been wanting to get a few of the new kits from Bronca and Kinetic.
Not Bronco but Riich models. I have read there is a problem with the Oshkosh licence which wasn't paid by Riich Models, so it is possible this model will not release.
No info about the Kinetic model.

Then, why did you label it "kinetics m-atv"?

Oooopps! So much for keeping the cost down. After reading so much about the M1117 I got keyed up and went shopping.
Bought a couple Voyager PE sets and the ET Models Weighted Resin Tires.
You gotta be able to paint the tires and vinyl ain't gonna cut it!
So now I'm set. (I think) I hope I'm painting it the tan color because I did see some in the green and it wasn't working for me.

I really like what I see here from Panda, the M-ATV:
http://www.themodellingnews.com/2011/10/panda-hobbys-panda-hobby-135-oshkosh.html I must put this and the Buffalo on the "next to do" list.
Too bad they don't offer this one, the Caiman:
This link
http://defense-update.com/products/c/caiman_mtv_19022010.html has a really nice video of it.
Now I gotta have one now.

In the meantime, my kit showed up!
Time to play, err ... I mean time to get to work.
Hope the PE and resin tires show up soon!

Hi folks....I saw that this campaign needed a ribbon, so I put one together:
You like it? You hate it? Tell me.

I actually submitted a ribbon of the same style, minus the ridgeline. The one you have created looks good to me.

Gary: We have had two ribbons designed and I known at least one submitted, but they aren't appearing for the award ribbon. Have you received either of these?

I'm having some fun now as I have started on the M1117. PE on the suspension? Who looks there? I guess I need to get some mirrors to park over now.
Pictures later of my progress.

Umm, you know how show cars with all the chrome underneath has strategically placed mirrors on the floor to show it off?
Well, that's what I meant by needing them to show the PE on the suspension of this M1117. I just think it's unnecessary to have PE
THERE!! Sorry ... sometimes I cannot even understand what I type.

Due to the fact that I left 'aircraft' out of dedicated ground support, I'll allow it. I think I should never have tried to bring in the wingy-things. It's just confusing me.

Just signed up for the panther campaign too, thought I might as well sign up for this too.
What I plan to do is basically an out of the box T55 enigma.
Maybe a set of fruils later on, see how the finances goes.

Dexter,
Where was the T-55 Enigma used in Afghanistan?
