Thank you, mates. Thanks once again.
Jay, I've both of them, but I think my next project will be
something different: would like to turn back to my original passion.....IDF armor.
Maybe a Doher from new AFV 109.
Cheers.

Guido, I first have the same Doher project.
But it is said that AFV Club will produce an IDF M109 soon. So my M109A2 will turn in M109 during Viet Nam war.
And I wait to see what is this IDF M109.

Thank you for your advice, Pascal. If AFV is going to come out with a Doher, think I've much time to wait. Thank you.
Mates....now I really need your help and hope someone out there can give me the right answer.
Try to explain. Before fixing last slats on the back-lateral sides of the model I need to add all the wires that come out from the electronic devices of the Buffalo.
The question is: where do they "enter" into the Buffalo? There is a point where do they come in? The back door maybe? Hmmm....don't think. They seem to me going under the vehicle but haven't good pics to have a better look about.
The same question about the electric wires of the several headlights I'll add. Is there a box or something similar, the wires are connected to? Or which else solution?
Thank you so much in advance.
Cheers.

I can't believe what I am looking at is an actual model, and not the real thing. The weathering and the PE work are amazing!
I want a Buffalo so badly, but man... I will be so disappointed because it won't look like this one.
Extremely nice work!

Hope this help a little .
It's not what you looking for but hopelly help you find out where the cable goes in general.

you might have to wait for those guys who work on the Mpcv or dig deeper on your REF photos.

Hi Jay, thank you so much for your video.
Even if, to be honest, I wasn't able to find what I need.
I think all the device are connected together, but ain't sure.
It seems to me that, looking at the Buffalo from rear, the Duke on the right is maybe connected trough electronic wire to the antenna of the same side. And so on the left side: the two antennas are connected together.
It would be enough to me: I mean......no wires that have to come into the Buffalo through any specific hole or point. The wires come from the antenna....go to the other....and from the basement of this go into the model. For each side. And the same for all the electric wires for the headlights I'll add: these go into the Buffalo through the same basements I mentioned above.
How does this sound in your opinion?
Thanks so much once again.

Yessss Pascal, thank you so much
Those are the points I thought all the wires could pass, but wasn't sure.
Thanks a lot.

Hi Guido, thats an amazing work, respect.
But i hav e a question, i see pictures on the net and in different books, where some Buffalo's are painted in green. Are thats the first of this vehicles or why they are painted in green? And does anybody pictures of this Buffalo's?

Pascal and you seems right on that......I will route those cables to somewhere (on the side or bottom) invisble and route those back to those two boxes just like your REF pictures, to be safe if i were youh

I just have the good pics to say that.
The 2 arrows are 2 antenna supports with holes for cables.
Othr thing ,a hole in an armour give a weak point for possible RPG hit.

Hey, Pascal
NOT trying to jack Guido's threat, I am sure you know MPCV in and out cause you built the whole thing and I don't know that well at all.....but when I took a look at your pictures, seems on that USMC MPCV, quite clear those two harris antennas on the back(left and Right) is routing down to the back lights and they don't go to the antanna stand, The ECM and the other antenna(on the Right Stand ) is rounted to the right side.......Good puctures though anyway.

Hi Guido
your BUFFALO is truly a masterpiece. I have been fascinated about all scratchbuilded details.
Hope you will dedicate an article on some model magazine.
lavoro veramente fantastico !

Further steps: slats are finally completed....just to add last two in front of the radiator grille....only after crane will be fixed.
All and odds have been random placed.
Other details
The mirror....I like it moves...
Cables on the CROWS
That's all, mates....cheers.

Now Guido, I'm sure you're mad
Just a question about the lights you've added on the slats. How are they powered ? Am I wrong guessing they have batteries incorporated or haven't you made the power cords yet ?

Hi Olivier...yes, to be honest I'm close to madness with it :-D
Please if you have a better look, you 'll realize I added on each headlight a little bolt made with punch and die, with a hole over......that's the place I'll add electric cables....isn't madness or whatelse?? :-D
Henk, the plug comes from Tuner Model....it's for bikes or cars, but it sounds good on the Buffalo too, I think :-)
