Unfortunatelly, I don't have any picture of the build.
The kit is the Academy M1151 #13415, excepted of a few scratch details and some gear from US Modern Vehicle Equipment Set #35266, it's OOB.
The construction is straight foward and runs with no problems, the fit is very good. Some PE will add more detail if you want. The drawback of the kit is the turret OGPK, with ejector pin marks very visible, one aftermarket here is very recomended.
I coiled wire to replace the springs of the suspension, and modify the front axles to steer the wheels. Add wiring to the interior, radio and bluetracker. The ration boxes, coca boxes and maps are printed by me, the blue toolbox was scratch build from spare parts, some os the ammo boxes are resin copies from tamyia set, all fastener straps are lead foil.
Following my references, I added a basket's ammo on rear of the turret and a mount for SAW in the right side, and additional water cans in the rear, on racks above the back wheels. Believe or not, I loose the duke antenna (??:-???) and scratch one replacement.
I sanded the wheels to add weight. No primer was applied. I (normally) use handcraft paints mixed to match colors and airbrush then thinned with "window cleaner":|. Filters and oil washes come next, and after a coat of matte varnish, comes the weathering with pastels.
One of the inspirations:
Here is the result (the pics is from 99% finished model):
In the near future, this kit will be starring in a diorama.
Well guys, comments and critics are welcome.
One more time, sorry for my english errors.
