like it ... the wheels have that red earth color so associated with Vietnam.
I was noticing the wheels look bowed out looking at them head on..is that the way the vehicle was or is it just the kit?
Anyway I have this kit and makes me want to build the thing...
thanks for sharing

I built the M274 with the 106mm recoilless rifle some time back, a very nice kit with decent figures to boot.

Yes, the wheels are bowed. It was my fault. Thought they gad dried and let the vehicle sit on them. I don't really build vietnam stuff and had only bought the kit for the figures which I needed for aother project, so I didn't put much "love"in this build. Got to unglue those wheels and correct them.

The figures that come with the kit are the best deal in my opinion. Was the reason why I bought it.

I have the old Dragon kit in the stash and I believe some one makes a resin version as well
