Hey everyone,

Today, I present for your viewing pleasure a recently completed replica of the M26 "Dragon Wagon" Armored Recovery Vehicle by Tamiya. Your criticism and comments are most appreciated:









Cheers

It's a big monster isn't it. Construction looks good as far as I can see, except the one wheel is out of alignment. Did you build out of the box? The cylinders on the rear suspension arms are oil cans. The system dripped oil on the chains so these would be coated with a thick layer of oily ooz.
It's nice to see some one taking on this project.

Looks pretty good. The frame and bumper should also be OD Green though. Also, the lines on the tires don't look right. On mine, I chucked the tires into my rotary tool using a sanding drum attachment and grind them down on some rough (100 grit) sandpaper. It took the mold line right off and made the tires sufficiently worn down. Where is the spare tire as well, it is missing. Lastly, the raised area on the sledge hammer head should be OD as well. It is a hanger that is welded to the hull of the truck and gets painted with it. Pretty good start. With some small corrections, it will look great.

Thanks for the comments guys. Believe it or not but I actually forgot to attach the spare tire after painting and weathering it .

This is rectified now, as are the paint omissions.

I love the bumper. Looks real. It looks like my bumper on my Jeep.
