Dear All
Please find below my new project a MCV Warrior for the Modern Armor Campaign.
Academy kits with Eduard PE, i did some extra work on the storage boxes at the rear of the Vehicles

I'm going to change the white cylinder to metallic tube one. Need to ask the guy at the workshop here at work :-)

All comments are welcome.











Seb

Nice job Seb,

I have two points though :
the wire on the reel looks too thick to me. It should just be electrical wire so something quite thin.
your idea of an opened stowage box will give a living look but you'd better thin the kit parts. I think the side are just thin metal and not armor.

What are those dark parts on the turret ?

Keep on posted.

Dear Olivier

Concerning the phone wire, it is lead wire, i will change to normal electrical wire. Good point.

Concerning the storage box which one are you referring ?

Cheers

Hi Seb,
I'm referring to the one opened with the lid horizontal and the little retaining chain (picture 3).

cheers

Dear Olivier
Well i dont have any references pictures i just add styrene sheets inside the box and i did not remove the plastics stuff inside.

Everythink is glued now i will be really hard to reduce the thickeness of the walls.

but thank anyway for the comments Olivier merci encore :-)

This kit will be my contribution to the modern armor campaign for info
cheers

Just a trick in case you change your mind. Use soft metal foil you'll shape against the plastic part (don't know the word for étamer) to get new parts with the ribs or recesses. This is quite easy when you get used with this technique and enable you to depict damaged parts.

Happy to see other IFV than Bradleys for this campaign. I have another VAB in my stash but I think I won't have enough time to build it in the timelines.

Apart from the comments already made, that is a good looking Warrior you have started. I recently built the Warrior MRCV and a word of warning. The suspension arms are very easy to break off. If you do have any problems, i suggest you drill a small hole in teh suspension arm, and then on the kit itself, and that should provide a stronger join and avoid any breakages........hope to see the finished item soon.

With regard to the rear stowage bins on a Warrior I seem to remember seeing a pic somewhere of one with Fuel/water cans stowed in it. Your Warrior looks superb so far, I look forward to seeing it finished.

Pete

Europa Militaria No 25 'Warrior Company' has a photo of an open rear stowage bin on page 38. In the photo there appears to be three jerry cans inside with just enough room for a fourth.

Hope this helps and it is always good to see something British

Good job on all the fittings and mounts. Is that the Eduard PE set?

What's with the putty on the rear corners? Are you going to replicate that fat weld seam on the rear corners.

Keep us updated on the progress.

Paul

Dear All
Thanks for the comment, sorry i had a quiet week end so that explain no reply.
Well
@ olivier thanks for the tips
@ All thanks for the indication concerning the size of the rear boxes i will see how i can improve it.

if someone can PM the references photo, i will be very gratefull?

@ Paul the putty on the corner is to fill the gap
The PE is the Eduard Set

I will certainly do the one from the BBC movie Warrior
So with no add armor on.
Thanks for reviewing

Cheers
