G'day all,
Well I'm going to put my money where my mouh is and show my build of the Showcase Models Bushmaster....
This is going to be a slow build, I have a small baby and a daughter and a wife...so in between looking after thrm and housework I am going to plug away at my bushmaster.
I will be adding some of my own details, aftermarket stuff, suchas radios etc and photos of the real thing as I build....

Looking forward to it.
I think I'm about to cave and get one of these.

Ok first things first....got two kits.....paint was my next issue, matching Auscam on vehicles is hard, but thanks to hearns hobbies I was able to pick up the correct colours.
Hobby color H44 flesh for the tan colour
Hobby color H77 tire black for the black
Hobby color H303 green for the green colour
All these look very close to the actual colours and will look great.
Also arms corps models antenna bases, these have flexd ones great for the radio antenna being held back..Mouse house radio instalation for M113, this has the speaker box that was in the bushy, their steyr rifle set....and also some resin 7.62mm ammo boxes, also got a verlinden American MRE boxes, as we had a lot of those rations over there...
