Nice work so far. I didn't make it as far as you, yet
you probably already noticed, but in Step 5, there is a part lable error. It says WF30 when the actual part is WH29. There isn't a WF sprue.

You can not use the armor cab without removing the oil filter and oil tank on both Trucks

Thanks guys.
@ Seb in my pîcs the M1078 is a the one that I build with normal cab.
Actually the newa nd correct truck is under construction. And yes the oil tank will be omitted.

What a good looking truck! The front of the cab looks like a Dragon Wagon cab.

Hatch is closed. This not very exact when weapons are put on the turret.
The Legend OGPK get exactly is the cab's hole but it is not correct (no pics from that)
Another way is using a Blast reference for earl Humvee turret..

Silly question, where is the oil filter and tank situated when an armored cab is in place?
Gr,
Marcel
Not so silly !!!
I ask me the same question. The left side tank oil is for the self recovery winch operations (seen in the TM)
There are LSAC M1078 with & without winch, can the oil tank be fitted with LSAC ?
If someone can answer, TIA

Hi Pascal,
Great updates.
I'm not sure to have understood. Do you want to replace the Trumpeter turret with this Blast Models humvee turret ?
I have thougnt possibly about a GPK turret or just a gunner shield like the Live Resin setwith a Mig Productions hatch. What do you think ?
