 Another previously started and quickly abandoned due to a loss of mojo. Once I restarted I didn't feel up to creating a fully detailed interior so I've closed it up. The boxing is for a US Army version but includes an option for a Bundeswehr vehicle and as I'd also got a set AFV Club upgrade tracks already on the go that kinda' decided the direction of travel with this. The instructions were only included for the US version which caused just a wee bit of head scratching - then I remembered Scalemates have PDFs of most of these things. I have now gotten to the point of construction all but complete (bar running gear and tracks), so its time for a blast of primer. As I've run out of my standard Halfold's Grey (and apparently the Welsh Government don't consider modelling supplies to be essential items  ) the only other option is the black I tried on the CV90 that's been parked. Nice coverage but its robbing all the light out of any pics so you all you can see is a black box shaped thing. I'm aiming to get a basecoat on this over the weekend so hopefully I can prove its actually happening  |

Excellent! I'd love to see one of these in Bundeswehr markings as I want to do one in 1/72 scale as well. Looking forward to seeing more.

I've fixed the tracks in place along with the skirts to hide asin or two... so that should make for an interesting time when it comes to getting some paint on.
