Ok, as I couldn't start to paint the MaxxPro, I decided to start this little and funny thing:   For now, I don't know if I'll build the Spanish version (plain green, with more lights and an MG) or the Italian one (3 tone and unarmed) As far as I can see, the little wheels fits only to the Italian or French versions, but as I won't concerned about that, I'm still thinking to build the Spanish one (i don't have a single Spanish vehicle in my collection). The details looks very good (even on the far simple interior) and I think it'll be a fast build. Lets see. More on this thing soon. |

You could do color modulation and that will almost be cammo.  |

Hi! I started to build the wide tracks thing. Half of suspensions, the front module interior and the rear module main structure are done.   Here you can see how thin are the suspension arms, I'm thinking about how to reinforced some of then without break the original shape. Suggestions are really welcome. The tracks are the "villain" but looks very good and glues perfectly with normal plastic cement. Here the (good) front module interior:    The BIG problem here was the BIG Takom logo and codes on the upper part. The solution I used was awful but enough to hide it a bit. And finally the rear module, plenty of EPMs, but with a good fit (as the rest of the parts I built so far)   Here we have the Takom's marks either, but they was easy to remove because the upper hull is almost flat. This interior is far simple, with 8 folded seats. I'm thinking make one entire side unfolded, I still don't know if that's possible. Pics of the front module with its suspension:   That's all for now. Hope you liked. ACC&?W |

Thank you guys!
Robert, it isn't so little, you're right. But if you put it near a tank or even a big MRAP, it can looks little.

Is it the Volvo? We had one in the Falkland Islands,there were rubber bungs in the floor pans which we knew nothing about,consequently it filled up with water very well !!!!

Hi Jed! I didn't know you're English and you're a Falklands vet. Wow! So, no mate, this machine was developed by Hagglunds from Sweden (as Volvo). Soon I'll post an UD here.

Wonder why some of my Book Marked Threads haven't been showing up on my " Participated " button?
