this is going to be my first build log on armorama
is started with this kit about two years ago in a campaign build about operation desert storm on a forum like this in Holland.
i put the kit away because i wasn't satisfied with the protectors on the front (PE) they were very difficult to create. since everything exists of loose pieces. maybe someone knows what im talking about:p
but now i continued the build and completed the protectors and am satisfied with the result.
take a look at how far i am by now, is used voyager upgrade set

an then the most difficult part of PE i ever build, the protectors (how are they called?)

a little more PE

an then i was ready for painting but realized they i could pretty easy improve the detail level of the model with brass wires and reference pics from primeportal:
how it would have been:

---M270---MLRS/041-------this---is---how---it---looks---without---modifications.JPG)
a few extra hours and you'll get a nice result!

---M270---MLRS/045-------started---adding---brass---wires---on---the---ceiling.JPG)
well that's it so far.
this evening i did more detailing on the exterior of the kit (underneath the launch system) with brass wiring and evergreen.
ill post pictures of that tomorrow by daylight!
what do you think about it?
replys and feedback is very welcome!
thanks for looking
