She is just about done. All that is left are the unit's bumper numbers that I am waiting on the buyer to send me pics of so I can make the decals.

Here she is empty:


Here she is with a couple of loads.
M2A0 Bradley:

M88A1:

M109A6 Paladin:

More pics here, with and without a load.

TRUCKS RULE! :-)

Gino, this is a magnificent build. That looks great! You can feel the size and reality of the real thing and that's a big factor in modeling. I feel you have captured it!

BRAVO!

Now , didja fix the lighter? :-)

I am speechless..... That looks awesome Heavy. I only see one flaw, On the trailer the second set of tires from the rear on the left are crooked. I know they are turning, but if you look from the rear you will see what i mean. they are like this....... " /" instead of this " I". I hope that makes sense. Other than that it is an awesome build. I am saving my money now.... It is straight out of the box right, nothing added...



SUPERB JOB heavy

Herky,

Yup, I now see the tire. Amazing what the camera and a fresh set of eyes can see. It is now straight. Getting all those wheels to look right was a bit of a pain. Basically, everything you see was in the kit. I did replace a couple things like putting clear lenses on the orange warning beacons, used colored wire for the trailer cable, and a few other minor additions. All these things were in the kit, I just improved upon them.

Thanks for the compliments from both you and Murph.

Wow Gino, that was a fast build. And a resin kit to boot. Nice.

Will you be doing any weathering? Or is this a desk top sort of display?

Bob,
Thanks for the compliments. It will get some light weathering to bring out the tire tread and some other fine detail, but it is mainly a desk display and the buyer wanted it to look pretty clean and new.

Fantastic build! It looks so big with the other models on it. What load does the buyer want on it?

Nothing going on it. The buyer wants an empty truck. Personalyy think it looks better loaded, but that is what he wants.

That is one sharp looking Super HET! As said above ... I believe you captured its massiveness well. Looking in you extra pics, the 113 looks like a joke once placed on that thing!

Once more, great job,
