Nice, looks like a good clean kit. Did you build it out of the box?
I really like the color you have done, keep use up-dated

Looking pretty good.
A note on accuracy though, the IDF never used M151A1s. Academy got that part wrong. The Shmira was on an M151A2 chassis. The differences are minor, but enough to tell them apart. The A2 has larger front turn signals(which also resulted in a different shape to teh front fenders), larger rear lights, a different shape to the rear wheel openings (which Academy incorrectly left on their A1 model), and a one-piece windshield (without the bar down the middle). The wiper motor setup was also different.

I made that out of the box, my friend suggest me to add more detail on the radio such like cables and earphone.
But I have problem to find the references.
So far, I will built thi out of the box.
Thanks

I just swapped the Academy M151 Shirma parts with an Academy M151A2 MUTT. The kitbash works pretty well along with the Legend's Shirma upgrade. Gosh, I haven't touched that kit in about six years...time to finish it up!
BTW, has anyone bought a crew for the Shirma? I know Legends, CMK, and maybe Warriors make a set? Can anyone say which one is better?

Hello iie
Considering it is you first one in 1/35 you have done it superb including the dusting inside the grooves in the tires...and more.
Just for your information, there is no such name for the Scout M151 in IDF service. The basic M151 in this Academy model is inncorrect. This is an early M151 with the incorrect front fender. Compare the location of the lights and their size to M151A1 or A2. This is not your fault .
The right name for the model you presented is M151 Djapas.
Kindly provide the final photographs with the Antena masts and gear.
Thanks for sharing.

thanks for the correction.
I only want to add antenna to complete the kit.
There is no hobby shop in bali, so it is hard for me to find the rigth gears on the vehicle.
Will update soon.

I have the Warriors one and recommend it without reservation. Only handicap is it shows a crew with winter gear (overcoats etc) so your diorama needs to be set in Winter

I would use either Warriors or legends figure set. Both are nicely done, and priced right.

nice build! Ive got one in progress now as well.
Anybody notice that the markings in the kit are the same vehicle number as seen in the pics in Verlindens M151 book? sad part is that academy did all the tire pressure and rear bumper codes in black when they should be white....oh well, guess ill be getting good at the ol paint brush
