HobbyBoss 1/35 GMC with 40mm Bofors. Great kit with plenty of detail. Maybe too much detail in some areas as I felt that some parts had been made seperate just to bump the parts count! The keen-eyed amongst you will spot that a few PE parts are missing...........both windscreen wipers and a couple of small items from the gun are missing. Sorry HobbyBoss but my eyesight and hand-eye coordination ain't what they were a few years ago and these parts ended up too bent & broken to be used.

Another Lovely GUN TRUCK Thanks for showing it off. Looks great Nice to see something different to the Allied White star! Cheers Geraint

Nice work Dave, you have a grand model there.

Looks real good Dave. What was the fit like?

Very nice Cliff, if they ever released this as a standard GMC it would be the best available. I've built Bofors now from Italeri (on the Crusader chassis) and HobbyBoss and this one is far better. Still got the Bronco one to do but that already looks like it'll be the best of the guns.

My only concern, which I voiced above, is the use of seperate parts and PE when I feel it's not justified.

The GMC's I'd like to see in plastic are the SWB 352 cargo and the cab over models.

your build looks great,i like the paint job.very nice work.

Hi Dave,
great build and paint job. Don´t worry about leaving some of the etch off, I understand thoroughly. I´m only 46 and have the same problems with unneeded etch parts, that could and can be made in plastic.
