Hi guys! Still I'm waiting some paintes form Spain, I decided to build one strange wheeled vheicle: The Husky VMMD (Vehicle mounted Mine Detector). Panda's kit isn't the best in the market, but it's good enought to build a good representation of the real deal. I'll need to add some white plastic and miles of cables/hoses to make it better, but will be a great adition to my colection and the theme of IPMS Brazil in december will be MRAPs. So, lets build this and hope I can do a good work. The box:  The parts:  And after some hours of work, we had this:   
I'll add some detail inside the cab and need to pay atention to the parts and decals because many of them aren't indicated in the instructions. The size of vehicle is impressive, almost as big as the Terminator:  Hope you like! ACC&?W  |

Welcome on board guys! Thank you for watching! So, I finished the front and rear structures, with some white stuff and cables/hoses. I needed to exercise my "guess" power, but I think the thing looks good.     Now, I'll paint and detail the interior before close the main hull and add the little detaisl and the detectors (with more cables). Hope you liked! ACC&?W |

Strange looking but I like it! I've seen this kit as well as the one from AFV Club. I thought about getting one but I figured it probably wouldn't end well with all the hoses and wiring stuff. My tolerance for fiddly stuff is pretty low most times.

Nice work on the Hydraulic lines or are they the wiring for head lights?

Thank you mates!
Bruce, in the front part, the two orange lines on both sides are my "eletrical source". And in the rear part, the stretched sprue line goes to the rear bumper and feed the lights too. No wire inside the bumpers because they are cover by the mud flaps.
