Started from the excellent Takom kit - painted in three-tone RoC camo scheme - weathered to show use in military maneuvers - dirty - dirty - dirty using Ammo of Mig and various other weathering products.

This may be the first time I've seen one of these built and finished, looks impressive.

Thanks - yes, I know it seems to be an "odd" subject, but I usually build odd stuff anyway

The Hoffman device does not come with the kit, and I'm not even sure if RoC uses them in their maneuvers, but I thought what's an Patton hybrid w/o a Hoffman device...

You have the Hoffmann wired up-nice attention to detail.

Thanks Gino P. Quintiliani (namedrop) sent me some very detailed photos of an actual Hoffman mounted - from different angles.

It came out really nicely. Great job on it. Glad the ref photos helped.
