M270 A1 MLRS from 1/142 FA

Next task is to refine the shutters. Will be an “eyebreaking” job.:slight_smile:

New and old.

Yup, looks better than the Dragon kit one. Good deal. Too bad Trumpeter only molds them closed. I replaced them w/Dragon ones on my M270A1 Maintenance model as well.

New blackout driving light?

Looks like it. It is in the same spot as the old style light w/a hood. Probably an LED of some sort.

Good start on it Hans-Hermann. If you are interested.

I made a search for the harris loop antenna and found this on Facebook.

I think this is a really nice scratch build. He built it for an M142.

Hi Andreas, thanks for this but I will leave the Harris antenna off. To flimsy to handle and “my” Iceman had no loop antenna installed.

Small update:
I build a jig for aligning the shutters


Made the new B/O light from scratch and improved the headlights.

I missed this build. You’re doing a great job Hans-Hermann.
