Well here are a few of my thoughts on this build and kit.
For painting I used a base coat of Model Masters Field Green.
The Camo was brushed on using Tamiys XF52 Flat Earth and XF1 Flat Black.
I used Tamiyas XF85 Rubber Black for the tires on the road wheels.
The kit gives you clear parts for the headlights, but I used 3mm. MV lenses instead.
The Decals for the ROC markings are rather thick and I had a time getting them to snugle down.
The Camo patterns on the instructions don't match up side views to top views.
Needles to say the Track while being nicely detailed really sucks, after being painted it still is sticky and should be replaced.
The Bronco Track that I used didn't fit really good. Next time I think I'll try the AFV Club Track.
All in all I think this is a very nicely detailed kit, the fit was really good and except for the rear turret basket went to gether relatively easy.
Regards.

You'r Welcome.
I didn't have any problems with the Gun Barrel , it's just clean up the mold seam very carefully and add the hollow end part.

Nice build! Thanks for testing the Bronco tracks, saved me the trouble
I really like that neat and tidy diorama base in pictures 78 through 98. Never seen that type of rock formations before
Maybe I should get me one of those to photograph my models on, good combination of colour tones to show off the model on.
