I made a few changes from the kit based on photos of it in Vietnam in James Lyles books. I’m finally getting the hang of these M54 kits, lots of tweaking to get things looking right. Biggest areas are the windshield (wants to lean forward) and the cab/fenders/hood (hood too high if built as per instructions and left fender needs to be clearanced to fit around steering gear).

Looking good. I really like the AFV Club M54s. Lots of options for them. Now it needs some Vietnam red mud weathering.

Thanks, I’m not very good at weathering. Given the investment of time and $$$ I’d rather not screw it up.

Thanks, many GT’s in Nam were named after the songs of the time!
