Nice family portrait!

What color are you using for the finish?

What are the final looks you are looking to accomplish with these? Iraq, Afghanistan, stateside training? Time frame and user? US Army, Hungarian, Romanian, Polish etc... Some very interesting variants of the MaxxPro out there. Hopefully Legends will come out with another variant that is equipped with the Tac-4 Suspension, or at least a conversion kit.

To day no idea ! I'am waiting for the Rob's CD to have reference pics to complete the interior. I think finishing the kit with open doors.
As there is no markings decal sheet available, I don't know how I make this !

Due to the Navistar data sheet I believe that the TAK 4 suspension version is the Maxx Pro Dash DXM, wich is smaller thant the Maxx Pro and Pro Plus

Tak-4 is a retrofit, they simply cut off the old suspension and weld on the new one. They do it for Cougar's, RG-31's (these look insaine) and also with MaxxPro's. Tankfixxer can probably give more specifics but I know for a fact we would send our old trucks (cougars and MaxxPro's) back to Bagram, a week or two later the same truck comes back wearing a new suspension.

Its possible that other legacy MRAP types got TAK-4 ISS before the decision was made to allow the manufacturers to submit their own vehicle specific types (so much for attempting to standardize any part of the legacy MRAP fleet).

Interesting, our mechanics always told us that it was TAK-4 and we just took their word for it. My apologies for spreading false info. Thanks for that information though, I never really did understand the difference between all the different MaxxPro's. I assumed the DASH was the one without the elevated turret platform. The armor looked different on them as well.

No worries. I work for Navistar so I finally have the rare chance to help people out

Robert
yes you are so right!
My kit should be here tomorrow; I ordered it from Sprue Brothers.
Hows the build up? and where does one get you CD?
Mrosko

Like I said, i assumed that the Dash was bigger because in person it looks like a monster with the ISS compared to the Base, but I never really physically measured the trucks.

I'd assume the tires are different because of the different weights of the vehicles, but if you really want to know an asnwer to that I can double check
