Looks good so far. It is coming along nicely.

The MERDC is looking good. Did you do the smaller (sand and black) squiggles by hand w/a brush?

The headlights will need to be replaced.

Were the sand and black patches sprayed for real or painted with a brush? On the period pictures they look sharp-edged.

Looking great. I really like how the weathering came out with the MERDC. Great job.

Not necessarily replaced, just one of them swapped. You may already have noticed this, but both lights should be the same, so both right side (looking from the front) light should have an (gloss deep red - appears black) IR lens.

Hi Olivier, yes, usually the two dominant greens were spray painted and the smaller sand and black squiggles were hand painted w/a brush.

Gotta ask; where in the world did you find a pic for 4/17th?
I was purely speculating on the unit identifier since at the time we were a roundout to 18th Abn, but your picture makes more sense as 120th ARCOM.

Very nice work Chris, I would like you to consider sending in a feature on this effort.

Very nice. The paint and finish came out great. It looks really nice in MERDC. The only additions that you may want to do are the driver's periscopes should be painted a dark, glossy color and it looks like the tail lights are not painted.
