I like the seats that brings texture how did you do it.Was it soaked in glue then put on.

The whole build looks impressive. I can not wait to see it finished model what type of weathering are you going to use.

I just ordered some stuff for IDF and your build has helped me with some scrap built stuff. Was it hard to do. I have never tried scrap building.

Are you going to put it in a dio.

What type of netting is in the rear box is it suppose to be big like that.

Over all it is coming along nicely. Keep the ( GREAT ) work.

Happy Modeling

Thanks for the coments!!

the seat texture I did with tissue paper soaked in paper glue. And then it's really to form around edges and when dry it looks nice. The back of the driver seat is actually a bag holding a LAW launcer and is made in the same way as the seats.

as you can see I use a paint brush for everything. But the wheatering will be pastels and a wash.

The MAG machinegun is still missing and the spare TOW rounds and cables.

the rear box looks bigger on the photo than it actually is but yes I'm quite sure it needs to be this big

The TOW launcer it self is made out of a Dragon kit and the standart Tamiya parts.
Teh jeep is build of the Academy shimira kit and I had to cut the front of the mainbody out to fit the tamiya M151A2 front on it. The MAG arm is from the Academy M113 Zelda kit.
I hope to be able to put it togheter with other models in a dio.

So wich IDF prodject are you starting?
