A "fun" little OOTB build. I picked up the kit for like twelve bucks from Greatmodels. Construction was fairly straightforward with some gaps that needed filling. Actually, during the painting process one seam has cracked back open on me, but now I don't have the desire to strip, refill, sand, and repaint. Hey, it's an Iraqi vehicle...battle damage baby.

Primed black with Citadel Primer. Basepainted with a mix of Desert Yellow and white. This was lightened and sprayed randomly on the vehicle. The camo is Tamiya Field Grey. Some filters applied using Humbrol enamels, then washes of oil paint, Burnt Umber I believe.

Chipping is being down with Vallejo Russian Green. Chips on the green camo is going to be done next. Then dusting, pigments, etc.

I recommend this one to anybody looking for a fun little build.

Only twelve dollars for that? Seems like a really good kit. Good deal. Looks good too!

Are those added wires from the box? I saw that in my LHS and it only costs about $6 USD. Pretty cheap IMO. How's the detail on the underside? Does it have an interior?

Ok, you busted me! I added the wires..so not a strict OOTB build.

Relatively scarce detail on the underside, no interior whatsoever..but hey, it's cheap!! Also, from what I have heard the accuracy is not spot-on. There are definitely some over-sized hinges on these little vehicle.

Thanks for the comments and I will try and update the beating up of this thing over the weekend.

LOL..magic!! It is a complicated arrangement, and to make matters worse, I actually broke two of the attachment parts in half when removing them with the sprue!

To be honest, I used some Testors tube glue which held the points in place, but gave me enough time to work with getting them on the vehicle while getting the duck board onto them. Once I had the whole arrangement in place, I just doused it with super glue.

It wasn't fun, and was by far the wosrt part of the build. You need patience more than skill to get that part on.
