This will be another build of my another favorite kit - HET from Hobbyboss.

First one is going to be finished soon so I can start second. This will be in sand camo with full REAL Model CPK, Rhino, antennas, engine etc. Thanks to Mila for a support!

First few pics of suspension - this is the same like in my first thread with a first engine try outs:



The new cabin with correct dashboard from RM:

Some evergreen to hide that terrible sink marks:

And finally cabin dry fitted with engine - easy job!:
