Thanks Dan !!

It’s a little complex build, full engine, transmission, full interior, I will try to have all the hatches and doors opened.

Only thing here are those tracks… small single link with separate guide horns, I’m putting some AM tracks on it…

Despite this I recommend it, it’s a fun kit.

I’ve got a set of AM tracks coming for it as well.

I see that later versions of the kit have length and link track.

Oh.. I didn’t noticed that. Glad they changed it.

When I read the instructions and saw those guide horns… geeeez. Searched for the best option.. Quicktracks. No wires, no resin pins, “Click”…and that’s it.

Hi Nito,

A rather strange but interesting vehicle, and right off the bat, it’s incredibly detailed and complete. I love the interior work.
What I admire is how you managed to make the tracks look good without losing your mind…lol

Cheers

Thanks Francis !!

It took me a lot of time and patience to work on the interior, but with so many hatches that could be opened… I gave it a try.

I will be using a AM QuickTracks set for the tracks. They are a little fragile but I think with some more sessions of dedication and patience I can work on the “107ish” track links…

There is a ex Iraqi MTLB a few hours from my home that has the wide tracks. Shame that it sits outside.
