Hi Pavel,
If you do want to scratch build the CPK version, this link will make it a lot easier.

kind regards Michel

I have another question - what about suspension color - I think main color will be green, but what about details??
You'll find a few pics that may help here :

Some excellent reference photos - they are allready proving very helpfull.
Did you notice on the hobbyboss box art OSHKOSH is written C8KHQ8H ! but thank goodness the plastic slide moulded hood - OSAKOSH just take a nick out of the A and all is ok !
Cant believe value wise "bang for your buck" you get from this model - it is a bargain when you see how much etch and detail parts you get in the box. It is half the price I would have expected to see!
As for load out - im thinking of an ISO container and a toyota hi-lux ala Meng models!
cheers

Engine and transmission are weakness of this model, because parts of construction apply. It is true that preparing the engine with the gearbox. more:

Why did you paint it the chassis, before gluing all the parts. I think the color will be poorly bonded.

I will be following this build with great interest. I plan to add one of these beasts to the stash - no idea what will be on the trailer as of this moment - so many possibilities
Here are a few ideas I had just looking at my current stash and future release wish list:
2 1/35 Little Birds
1 1/35 Blackhawk
USMC AAV
Kinetic MRAPS - the MATV or the MaxxPro would look cool, I think
Be polite, be courteous, but have a plan to kill everyone in the room.

I am going to load mine with my very large debt incurred with purchases of this, the Maxxpro, the M-ATVs, the Bushmaster, the T-90, etc.

[quote]Yes, engine is not present - only bottom of it - but...is it really neccessary? It is almost the same if Tamiya not including the engine in Challenger II for example...
Todays progress - both steerable axles - each of them from around 30 parts..
Since the drive shaft is connected to the oil reservoir gearbox, it is good to at least modify this detail.

Well, I think this kit will be eye catcher as it is - I don´t have a need to do it Miloslav... Maybe in the future - when I´ll build second one...
