Well, haven't been the fastest poster lately, but started this a few years ago, I guess I'm also a rather slow builder. :-)
JMP Productions 1/35 scale Renault AHN



Still have a little more small details to add, like the wipers, and working on the cargo load also.
(Haven't forgotten the Staff Car Vinnie-that's coming along slowly also!) :-)

This looks cool. Haven't seen one of these before. How are you going to fill it. www.modelsinmotion.co.uk have some cool cargo items for quite a fair price.

Use some ref. pictures to get some ideas for cargo. Good work

Interesting kit, first time ive seen one of these too.
Some close up photos would be good to show the detail.
Nice work!

Looks good Dave, I almost bought one of these a few years ago when it was released but never did, kinda wish I had now, how has it gone together, any problem areas?

Mark, be glad you didn't. :-) :-)
Biggest problem was the cargo bed, Twisted so bad I couldn't get it straightened out, (even laying it on my warm tranformer under weight over night at work) and the sides were useless due to more pin holes than resin. Turned out easier just to copy the parts in plastic card.
The windows were a major pain also as there isn't much room for error or glue.

What patience!!

Good result at the end though, any chance of some close ups? The barrels look good. Where are they from.

Patience Grasshopper.
More photos as I progress.
Hopefully I can locate the CD with the earlier inprogress shots.
The barrels are model ship fittings. Don't recall who made them but they are white metal, and in two halves.

LOL, sounds like it was a bit of an SOB, which is strange as I have a couple of other JMP kits and they dry fit together like a glove.with hardly any clean up at all. :-)
