Just finishing the last of the bolt heads now John. Had to scratch build a tad more but that is done. I hope to have paint down and fully assembled by the 14th.

And here she is with most parts dry fit. Ready for a clean and primer.
Pics of the forward mount for the sharkfin blade aerial are rare. However, the ones I have seen show a very diffeerent mount than what Trumpeter give you in their ASLAV Kit. Trumpeter’s is just a straight support glued to the other side of a kit part, but the pics show a much more complex support that is mounted on the opposite side to Trumpeter’s, which I scratch built. This is an ASLAV Ambulance vehicle in Iraq, mine will be an ASLAV - R (Recovery) based in Afghanistan:

Thanks Guys.
The guy that made the master for this conversion has contacted me. He saw the pic one of the club guys posted on my club’s Facebook page. He has sent me a pic of the spider mount showing what is usually hidden by the shell catching basket. I needed to make a few modifications.
Primer is now down and drying…

Okay, decals are still wet, but she is together. I’m calling her done for the campaign.
There will be more work done soon, weathering and especially fixing the tie downs on the jerry can rack I broke while adding the decals…
…which leads me to another issue. I need a couple of decals to really finish the markings. I bought some custom decals from some random guy off the web, to use on this, however when I tried to use them tonight they just disintegrated. So I have scrounged in my spares and managed to find some close enough to use to get her ocross the line. I borrowed a set of ‘Caution Left Hand Drive’ decals from the Trumpeter ASLAV-PC (fortunately there are two in the kit).
The only really noticeable issue is the ‘38’ and ‘B’, which are smaller than they should be. However, I can live with that.
Thanks for the extra time John. It was a great group build to be part of. A lot of fantastic models made and I’m glad I got here.

Great finish Peter, it really looks good… The cam is excellent and the extra detailing you put on it has paid off tenfold, cracking job mate, you should be rightly pleased with it

Hi all and for everyone who completed their build in the time frame I have messaged Staff Jim with the list of names and the award etc. Will leave it with him and once he gets time, I am sure it will be sorted. I will keep on top of it if there is any big time lag.
Once again, a big well done to everyone who took part and produced some really outstanding work. Thanks for all the effort.

Thanks John.
The curse of joining too many builds Mark. Been there, done that, and have the scalpel scars to prove it.
