I am building a 1/72 scale Revell one for thr UN campaign. I guess that means I will need to follow this build. Hope to get some hints from you.

I am thinking of leaving one door open and the front part of the roof not glued in place so that you can remove it and see the interior. Otherwise it was a waste of effort!

I will just add a couple of details like a bottle of water, maybe a magazine or a folded newspaper, a folded map. Maybe an M4. What else could I find inside a Fennek?

Doesn't the Dutch army use the C7? Would that be their standard assault rifle?

Whatever rifle we have I know it was on the news not too long ago as being not very reliable.

This is progressing very nicely Marcos. I'm currently building the German one and I also went for the Eduard PE set for the interior. The inclusion of that and your excellent paint work has really brought all the interior details out nicely.

The Dutch Landmacht uses the C7/C8 as a standard weapon!
Reconaissance troops use the Elcan optics, which is than known as the C8A1.
