wow, thats a pretty neat build you have there. I love the treatment on the rubber dustguards. One question. Should the mg be co-axial with the chaingun?

"FRONT" markings are often present on duke antennas on several US vehicles.
This is the first kit in plastic which include them in decals. Great !
What these colored spots decals 33; 34;...? Did you used them on your kit ?

I used this one of these decal. They will represent paint stains that can be done sometime on vehicule to hide wrong markings. The decal colour is not really beautiful so I redo it

Quoted TextVery nice. How about some shots of the interior through open hatches and the rear ramp?
Thankls Gino, I've tried to do pics from interior but without success. I need to try again.
You've been quite vague about that. I think you're hiding a surprise from us - maybe for your article?

Sorry no surprise this time.
Till some time ago I don't find how to make good rear pic with door open.
Now I have the solution, so I need to try again. But today I'am working on the Buffalo.

You've helped me resurrect an idea I had several years ago.
I have two CCD Cameras about the size of postage stamps. They'll fit down through the turret hatches or the reloader's hatch in the rear, and give a view from inside the model. I should be able to capture some stills from the video.
Of course, I have to finish the kit first...

The solution is more easy?
Make two pics, one from the outside, second from the inside and mix them with a soft like Photoshop or another

Nice work indeed Pascal and certainly inspirational enough for me to get one of these too
Frustratingly though that even though I've found the kit a nice build, the engine cover ERA frame (part R15) is mis-moulded and about 25% of it is missing
. I'm hoping my LHS still has some kits in stock so they can swap a sprue out otherwise it'll be a bit of a wait for a replacement

Hello Pascal,
Very nice work, lovely model.
Regarding photography of the interior through the hatches, why is it necessary to do all that Photoshop magic with combined pics etc?
A pic through the rear ramp is easy enough to take by tipping up the rear of the vehicle so a light source from above can be used.
Kind of like this:

Or is there some other cooler effect you are trying to achieve?

Have you try a picture with the 2 A/C pods. Your pic is from a M113, easy to take a picture from this
And I use most of my pics for publishing article in modelling magazines

Pascal, first of all my model is an M113, and yes I have used images of several of my models in magazine articles where the publishers required high photographic standards.
My photography is not up to your high standards, though, it would seem - which is fine for me. Just trying to help :-)
