good work so far. Be careful when adding the antennas and mirrors- they are extremely brittle and break off really easy!

Nice work so far, Olivier... Would you say it's going together easier than the M-ATV?

When you say Alclad Armored Window Tint, what are you talking about. I can't find anything like that on their website. Just curious thanks.

Good job;
But due to ref pics, the seats look too high :



The parts in the red circle are not visible, that why I stopped my RG31 build.

Any new informations there ? TIA.

There are a couple different types of seats in the RG-31. Although the Kinetic ones seem to be a little too high, I have seen a couple where the seat tops are visible like the kit. http://fineartamerica.com/featured/2-rg-31-nyala-armored-vehicle-terry-moore.html

Hi Olivier!

Is the inner part of the rear dor gray?

I saw some pics where it looks sand or black.

I don't know if you finnished the paint job, so, if not, I'm sorry.

Cheers!

Marco
