I understand, the amount of plastic and PE on this kit is unbelievable.. it's very easy to loose a part.

I will use the LiveResin Mini-gun.

Hope I can see the progress on your M1114 too..

Still need to check 5 or 6 small PE parts, ammo boxes & jerrycans at the back before closing up the interior.

Roof, bonnet, bumpers, Mine-roller & Mini gun... so much work..

That small PE is a real pain in the posterior but makes a huge difference. Nice job on it!

Does the chute really made of flex resin?

Still follow.

Cheers!
