USMC Mk. 23 Truck from Trumpeter

We were several hours away from maintenance through Indian country. We carried a bottle jack and a bumper jack. Two is one, one is none.



I have posted a photo before of one of our run-flats, which was in pretty gnarly shape - the result of some shenanigans. I’ll see if I can find it.

I’m going to suggest a bottle jack somewhere on your truck, and maybe some lengths of four by four.

Ah - found it!

As with many truck kits, most if not all of the plumbing and wiring is missing. I’m not going crazy with brake lines on

this thing, far too many but I’m going to add the transmission dip stick which sits behind the cab next to the air cleaner pipe along with some other tubing next to that. Apparently this trucks engine etc are vented. I’ll also add cables to the water purge next to the battery box as well as from the two small boxes on the back of the cab drivers side. Easy enough.

Tamiya NATO colors. I forgot I have my new stash of AK Real colors but decided to use up the Tamiya stuff first.

Front and rear service lights done, just have to mount them when they’re dry. I used Tamiya clear orange and red.

This gun turret is a model unto itself. I’m about halfway done.
