I like its futuristic look but will wait for the German version to build mine.

How was the build? Is there any trouble to anticipate?

yes I prefer that German camo or any NATO camo but unusual this ISAF scheme.

Olivier the build is very straight forward. It goes together very well. Just be wary of join of front bumper parts to hull, i went a little wrong with that and needed filler.

A very nice build! Personally, I'm missing a bit of weathering at least on the tires but then again it is just me

Cheers,
Cristian

Not so many built Fenneks in the web, but this one is definitelly the best I've seen. And I think there won't be better for long time. I love it! I guess it's because of colors in the camouflage

This looks SOOO cool with the weathering on!!! The camo is just perfect. I really like the way it makes the sand color blend with the rest.

Great job! Nothing to add here, really!

I remember seeing a one of these in Kanadhar Airfield while deployed. It was covered in dust. And I wrote "Wash Me" on it with my finger. When I walk by it again, it was washed of course.

I'm sure a Dutch Sgt Major loves me.
Fun time while deployed with ISAF.


Cheers,
Tom
