Hi Gents.

Since I've not asked this question in awhile, I figured I'd do so again: What armored car/wheeled fighting vehicle models you all working on?

I am about 2/3 finished with the 1/35 Trumpeter BTR-40 APC. The kit is going together very nicely and is actually fairly well detailed; despite the "issues" already identified (which don't bother me too much).

I definitely look forward to hearing what you guys have on the workbench.

I have an AFV Club M1132 Stryker about 80% done. I took a break from it to work in a Hasegawa 1/48th F/A-18A++.

I am working on a Chevrolet 15-CWT Truck, does that count? I am using the Eduard's PE set that was intended for the QUAD, but there are some usable parts. Plan is for Canadian marking, open top back end, with cargo.

About 1/4 of the way through an 1/35 Italeri Sahariana. Bought resin sand tires, ammo boxes, & cactus from R&J to use with it.

An English Electric FV13135 Blue Water System, looking forward to it to.

Working on a SA-9 Gaskin, from Dragon:

i built the dragon BRDM-3 ATGM earlier this year. fun build.


finished trumpeter canadian 8x8 LAV-III in un colors. will be starting trumpeter canadian 6x6 COUGAR in un colors for contest. i think after that is trumpeter cargo truck in preparation for modern german, soviet, chinese tank transporters for 2013 nats. will throw in a CENTAURO and that should be it for wheels. also in the queue are 1/24 HUNLEY a pair of sino-japanese warships, and a 1/35 locomotive or k-5 rr gun (or 1/72 DORA)

Nice Job Wayne. Thanks for sharing

S.A. Marmon Herrington Mk IVF.

I'm working on the UNIMOG from Revell in 1:35 scale.

There is a lot of work because the kit is not accurate at all.

Just an FYI, but the photos Jon posted of the 1/35 MH Mark IVF are test shots of the new Commanders Models resin kit coming out...

Patrick- I am bringing my Staghound done up in 12th Manitoba Dragons markings. I used the Resicast stowage set which is very good. There are a few Apoxie Sculpt tarps to help finish it off. The wheels are a combonation of Blackdog and Royal Models
See you there in Auburn!
Joe

I can't wait to see your Stag model.

And, see you soon as well!

trumpeter CENTAURO VRC-105 with B-1 EARLY 2ND SERIES and B-1 EARLY 2ND SERIES W UPGRADE ARMOR in the queue. VRC will be finished for june monthly contest. probably paint it with MMacrylic green drab and save my tamiya nato green for one of the italian ones.
may start a big truck possibly chinese tank transporter or df-21 icbm.
also started 1/35 VOSPER for sept contest.

off to workshop to work on something.

this is coming along. got some time in today. mmacrylic was brush painting nice (all the nooks in the suspension so i don't have to over airbrush and get runs). spent 20 minutes looking for a lower hull part. was ready to open the eraly version to see if the part was similar and make a new one and DUH i already had it glued on. fit so well i stared right at it the first time.
will put the top on before adding all the fiddly parts. experience says it is safer that way.

CENTAURO is done. afv club M1126 STRYKER is at the decal and light weather stage. have M1128 MGS and M1129 mortar carrier new to the stash. not sure what wheels to start on next as i am finishing up 2 1/35 small boats and a couple of planes to finish up. have a SA-2 launcher enroute and own the trumpeter SA-2 transporter. have a cool photo of an egyptian and may build a big diorama as an abandoned site during '73 war

In the Campaign way, there's the M1117 Guardian, a VAB 6X6 APC, then feeling I was on a roll and infected with wheelz I picked up the M3A1 by ZVEDA, building the Staghound for an upcoming Campaign and then there's the DML MAZ-543 TEL with a SS-1c SCUC B' I want to detail all out with an engine and trans too later after the Campaigns are over.

So, not too much to do.

Cripes 'A Mighty Jeff. That's one impressive list of wheelies "on the bench"...

Yeah, it's a looong but distinguished line, huh.

Hi Patrick, good to see you still on the go.

I'm (very slowly) working on a 1/35 Tamiya Saladin. I have to admit that every time I dig it out and do some work it becomes less and less a "Tamiya" Saladin.

Also (very slowly) building an AA Humber Pig. Need to get a grip of that one whilst I can still find all the parts.


Future cunning plan is a scratch built Stalwart.

Patrick,
Decals arrived so finally shuffling Blue Water off the bench.





Will you be at Telford this year?

regards

Hi Murdo and Paddy.

Nice to hear and see (The Bedford rocket launcher is really nice) you two still cracking on the models. Not much modeling for me lately I'm afraid.

And, to answer your question Paddy, sorry to say I won't be at Telford again this year. Hopefully, I'll be there in the near future, sooner than later maybe.

Wheelie Project
I'm currently working on a Bronco Staghound Mk.I
Bought @ CVAmps kit night. Not happy about all the tiny
Pieces, but impressed w/ the ease and time of build.I
had the whole chassis assembled in less than 4 days.
Working on lower suspension and exterior details now.

I'll be starting Trumpeter's 1/35 M1132 Stryker Engineer Squad Vehicle w/LWMR-Mine Roller/SOB with a few upgrades in a couple of weeks. I plan on using ET's armored weighted wheels, Voyager's Modern US Stryker family Rhino Anti IED Device/VHF/UHF, AFV Club's anti reflection coating, and Griffon's storage baskets. The storage baskets are actually for the AFV Club kit, but they should fit mine. I'll be doing a blog under the "Operation Afghanistan" campaign, found here:

I hope to start on the DML MAZ-543 this winter as one of my long-term projects.

This will be displayed behind glass showcasing as much interior as I can even adding an engine and trans to the kit for it does not include any. One of the Trumpeter armor kits will "donate" it's set up for me but plan to have all doors, hatches and access panels 'opened' to show off.

This will be a first kind of project for me being that I have this new infatuation with wheels, I even plan an RC 1/16th project too with selling off one of my kits to fund it.
