Lovely build, Pascal! Great finish. The only constructive comment I can add is that this beast screams for at least one figure to give a senese of it's size.

Cheers,

Very cool kit, though no plans for cargo or a figure?

Nice job, looks great.

I can see it in a REMF type mini diorama. A few figures and maybe a conex box or two, the Italeri is OOP but my friend in Portugal makes some in resin on eBay.

It's a really good job, great!!!! Just enough weathering, not over done and the color is correct for Vietnam after a few months there.

Nice details with the windows. The tires look great and the muffler has a nice patina on it with the chipping too.

Pascal, a really nice build, especially since it's a resin kit. The paint and weathering has what I like to call that "used but not abused" look. Very nicely done.

Thanks all. A figure would give a better look but I don' t like to make them.
So no figures and supply for my kit.

The trailer can contain 6 standard paletts, no Connex shelter.

Not in it, next to it. I know they could not contain a conex container. I was in the US Army. Just something to set off the scene. I never drove a GOER but I did a Gamma goat, no power steering.

I know what you mean about figures. Either you do them or you don't. They are a real pain and can make the model look bad if not done correctly.

I tend to like dioramas, either mini ones or big ones to really show what the vehicle did.
