Nice finish! A+ Looks like your ref photo in your first post.






That is the case with most of my projects, i need a good picture for inspiration.

I can't build otherwise.

Very sharp looking piece. Like the scratch add on armor and the mix of European and desert painted components. For some odd reason when I look at this beast it reminds me of a rhinoceros.

Looks like it is coming along nicely. Good job so far an on the cab armor.

Check out my review of it to see some areas that can be improved. I thought it was a pretty god kit with a lot of potential.


Good review, somehow missed that one, shame as it would be helpful with turn wheels option, rather than figure it out myself.
Still think is overpriced, as M1070 from HB with trailer cost me 90 pounds and this one was 44.


Unfortunately, model-pricing is "in line" with everything else outside the "modelling world", today. The cost of living and everything else (in my area, anyway) goes up, but income stays the same, except if you make more than $100K a year...

NICE WORK!!!

Hi
I was thinking about it, but just couldn't force myself to spend 110% value of the kit on the conversion.
I am sure it's top quality, just a bit over priced for my taste.


Yeah, that's the thing with wanting to do conversions- MONEY! I do it, just not as often as I used to!

Sorry to have been a bit of a pest. I think the photo problem was with Photobucket (again) rather than anything you might have done. In any case I much admire your work here on the Mk23 especially the armored cab! My compliments!
