I liked building and painting this model. It’s straight from the box with the only deviations being the tow cable being moved from wrapping around the top of the vehicle to being stowed near the front hull, and, not adding the tools to the top deck between the grills, (I liked the look of the clear open area between the grills).
I wanted this vehicle to look like she’d earned here keep, so the weathering is intentionally heavy, (she’s been in the thick of it since Normandy).
There were some difficulties. “Tweezer launch” sent one of the front head lights some where onto the carpet (never to be found), so I used a piece of sprue to carve out something in the general shape of a light, painted it white, and called it a day. Also the tracks don’t seem to sit quite right into the suspension, but that’s about it.
I’d recommend this model to anyone, and any helpful comments are appreciated. Thanks.
