This is looking outstanding!
I've yet to ever use any PE parts, someday maybe I'll graduate.

Hi brothers! Here some news about this big guy... I finished the main paint, applied the decals and use some wash to start the weathering. I had some problems with the turret. Here in Brazil, when a thing or a person has lots of problems, accidents or incidents we say that this person or thing is "zicada" (funny eh?). So, this turret is "zicada" imagine that it fall from my hand and I think 80% of the parts simply popped of... Man, I almost cried... I recovered everything and glue back together. Now I need to retouch the paint and try to "save" the initial weathering. So, I glued all antennas and their cables, the roof looks messy and impressive with all those things. Hope you like:   Next, acrylic filter, some striking, rhino antenna, wheels and, I think, it'll be done. |

It seems like "saves" -- both small and large -- are becoming a feature in nearly all my builds. Glad you got this one squared away!  |

Never realized how much external wiring is on these.  |

Thanks guys! Robert, I think it's squared now (I hope too)  Bruce, when you start to add all wiring you can think that is wrong. But all the pics I saw are exactly like that... Terrible and beautiful! |

Maybe they have Kevlar coated wiring now. Who knew? |

When you think about it, it kinda makes sense: where does the explosion from a mine affect the vehicle the most? Answer: underneath, where most wiring is usually run. Putting it on the roof keeps it further away from the blast.
