I decided to have a break with my 1070: so looooong to complete it and here it's too hot to make a good job.
Something simpler in the meanwhile (?)....a new wip with the Bronco Buffalo.
Many deatails added from scratch and with the Voyager PE fret.
My aim is to build a with slat version: let's hope to make goal. Your comments are really appreciated. Enjoy my pics.

Thank you, Pascal.
Yes that PE set is from Voyager.
And I'll use resin wheels from ET.
Cheers.

I sprayed Gunze Resin Primer over. Set your airbrush at the highest pressure (4 bar more or less) and give many layers from 10/15 cm. Try to work against your worklight so that you'll be able to see where put it more and where less.
Cheers.

I, also, have missed the rear vent; But with a good paint job the modification is not really required :

Something simpler, eh?

You're doing a great job, I like all the small extra details you added to the model. Amazing!

Hi Mario, thank you so much. I usually say "great job", when I've a look to your models. Thanks a lot.
That work on fenders' supports is a big time spending, Not only for loving details. But in order to fix PE parts from Vojager, that give the possibility to build something as real.

Hi mates, summer passed away and so my Buffalo is on my workbench once again.
A few pics to show you my progresses with it.
I reworked the Blast resin parts that simulate the front under pressure air brake boxes.







My add on armor on both sides...just one at the moment.






That one was my first attempt, but I wasn't satisfied with it.
This is the correct one....I think its measures are more or less close to 1:35 scale if my eyemeter worked well :-)
It's already primerized and isn't yet fixed to the model.







Tamiya tape to simulate a like rubber appearance for the mudguard...the front left one at the moment. Voyager PE and 0'10 steel wire to complete it.







Thank you mates, that's all at the moment.
Cheers everybody.
