Looking good. I like the stowage and gear thrown in. Looks well lived-in. Good job.

Great work!!!
I especially like what you've done with the radio handset and the overall lived in look.
Well done.

Real sharp James, nicely done. Love all the detail work, right down to the parking brake being in position. The door straps look great, something often overlooked. Will you be adding this to a base or dio.

thanks for the comments guys! It seems this is a highly undermodeled subject, if I'm wrong let me know, resources were like finding a needle in a haystack. Mother, yes I plan on making a base, probably one that'll be good enough to stand alone as I think the detail added tells the "lived" in story well enough to not add figures, but if I choose to at another time I can add them no problem. I just really need to paint the sand that's there, maybe a palm tree. I need to research where the Golani regiment was active.

I'm quite interesting in your project, but there is no way I can see the pics you posted: are they in any other url?
Or can you send them to my ddn_mrc@hotmail account? Thanks dedox
