Now that the Bradley is finished, I'm not wasting any time getting started on this M1117. It'll be in CARC Tan with a Rhink Anit-IED device.

Hoping this is a quick build.



Cheers

This is a nice kit easy to build.

Footman loops on the roof and right side are really bad made on this model.

The suspension was kinda fiddly, but not terrible. Seems like lots of tiny stuff. Reminds me of an AFV Club kit. Gonna be a chore not to knock all that stuff off while painting.

Yeah, I had a Hell of a time with the antenna mounts, rear view mirrors and brush guards and tail light assemblies. I finally just decided to leave them off until I was done.

Thank you Armorsmith! Feels good to get some work in. I updated the Bradley post with completed shots. Although, not the greatest pics.
