the Instruction is wrong..... this might be voyager's early production, should bend the other side instead of the side indicated from the instruction, I didn't check my REF photos so I destroyed the first set when I tried to bend it back... fortunately, 2 sets rhino in the package
Learned a lesson, always check my REF photo.

This should be the last step

Great work on the rhino Jay. If that wire is to hard to bend & shape you can always use tin lead soldering wire.

That looks great, but as I said in a different thread, that frame is made of wooden 2x4's. You can make the frame from real basswood or balsa and it will weather very nicely. Also, those "T" shaped pins might look better mad from thin stretched sprue, as their profile is round.

Hi Robert

Thank you for pointing it out! I am not too happy with the T pins and the frame should have the wood texture....However, Due to my horrible scratch skill, I am not able to do that now, I will try that on my next rhino after attending scratch build 101 class and get some real tools.......I heard your CD is amazing, will PM you when I save up some money

Thanks for the Information and Regards

it is about $10 Euro, doesn't come with the control unit. it is not too hard once you understand the parts, the hardest part will be putting the sensors into the right place, and the instruction comes with the kit doesn't help at all.


is that the same crows II used on the m1a2 sep v.2?

Hey, Nick

Not a M1 expert, here is the threat James posted not too long ago,
https://armorama.kitmaker.net/forums/198997&page=1

And here is the link Gino posted
http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10150528540578404.385156.135320098403&type=1

From What i remember, either xm153 crows2(those on the MRAP/humvee) or M151 RWS A2 Protector (on the Stryker), I have seen them mounted on deferent abrams on the pictures from the internet.

I'm pretty sure, that it's an USAF M1116, not M1114.



Very good work with FPB and Rhino

Thx, Kuba.

Are you adding m1116 to your collection soon? I don't remember you have that in your humvee division? And the AF turret looks very neat to me in that picture. By the way, so many amazing humvee modelers on your site!

I don't have M1116 in my collection and in my nearest plans neither. I still hope, that any aftermarket producer will make a conversion set.

Yes, they are bigger and I dropped the suspension so the humvee looks lower than the box version.
