Hi guys. I finished my first intended model for the campaigne (hmm to be honest about 1 month ago) but couldn't succeed on uploading it to the campaigne gallery. As far as I see no other model photoes I really wonder what is the situation.

Anyways I decided to upload them here so that I can proof that I done my part(ok I was palnning a little more but who knoes there is still time).

This is Heller's 1/72 Reault VAB(don't ever get close to it, makes you sad as the general rest of the Heller products). It was originally desert so I painted the KFOR signs freehand. That's about it.... Be well....

Mmm... I think it's just a very 'low-profile' mission :-)
To be honoust; I have not touched my model for this campaign for weeks now....
But there where more finnished models, if I remember correctly...

If so, you did a good job! I think it looks very nice for a 1:72 model. I like the 3 tone camo and the handwrited (!!!) markings; they turned out great!
My only nitpick is that the tires looks a bit too yellow for me, but it could be the picture perhaps?
What actually was so bad about the Heller model?

Thanks guys for the compliments.
What is wrong about Heller is it's molds is really unpeasent. Details are concidreable but the plastic on the lids and doors are pretty thick. As I said details are finely placed but mostly wrongly placed and some are not even built on:} I personally pitied on this kit after recieving my first Dragon 1/144 armors. They really outstand in detail. And I really thanked that at least this kit wa not as bad as Heller's 1/72 Tiger.

Danial, nice Leo. Is it 1/35? I am (trying on) finishing a 1/72 of LEO2 KFOR if my Compressor gets back to buisness....

Anyways guys do you have any idea about the problem with the gallery upload? Thanx...

ExtraTech does a couple of nice detail sets for this little kit. They do a PE set that also includes a nice resin .50 and a set of resin wheels. Your kit looks like a good, solid build.
