Hi All, I´ll leave you some pics of this model I´m been building for a while, has become one of the hardest builds I ever made, even if the kit it´s not THAT difficult. I finished the interior cab and give a base coat of testor acrylic paint. Comments welcome

Looks very nice. Who is the manufacterer?

Hallo Shain, Revel of Germany it´s the manufacturer, the scale it´s 1/35. Sorry about the quality of the pictures, but it´s late here in Chile, I had watch duty today, couldn´t photograph them early

Hmmm... MAN 8x8?... It looks to me like you forgot to attach two wheels then! :-)

Good job on this 7-tonner! I have one in stash and plan to build it as a prime mover for my Feldhaubitze 105mm.

Great looking truck Will it be camo paint? How is the kit to build?

Hi Chad,
I´m going to paint it in nato 3-tone. The kit quality it´s really good, the sprues are almost completely clean, and the fitting of pices it´s very good too.
Negative points:
- Some of the pieces are very loose, some were in the bag out of the sprue.
- The suspension settings are hard to manage, very small pieces, chassis difficult to build. You have to follow the instructions by the number, and I mean it!. Also, those small pieces can broke quite easy.
- Be careful when cutting the pieces out of the sprue, since if you don´t do it, can damage some parts that are attached to them rather firmly (like the roof of the cabin)
- The wheels were hard to place too, the holes are a little too narrow, be careful to make them bigger.
that´s all, hope this info helps.
best regards

oh, and lot of ejector pin marks on the parts that make up the cabin ( have been working on the 4x4 5 ton version, which is more or less the same kit )

Better have filler, sanding paper and files ready

yap, or lots of paint :-) :-)
best regards

Looking very nice. I will have to get one of these. Can't have enough trucks you know.
