Hi gang! My humble contribution for this GB: And I'll use this too: Inspiration: (for discussion purposes only) Note the add on armor on the second pic. I bought resin wheels too, but had some issues with ET Models: I almost finished the build. The model is good but a little old. So, I had a lot of flash to remove and it has som EPMs in annoying places The turret is almost a kitbash because the original one has the hatch closed and the cabin interior is good to show. I used the ring of my Panda' MaxxPro and parts of Academy MG set. More soon! ACC&?W

Hi Pete! Welcome my friend!
I detected a problem with PE too! The lower panels of doors are incorrect and I'll need to make an little surgery to make then fit in the correct way. If you look with attention to the pic of truck with add on armor you see that these panels use only one big washer to hold the screw. So I think it seat higher than the other panels an its logical because they need to protect the space between door and cab. This is the easy part. I'll need to cut off the doors handles and carve a little the contour of the hinge to get the correct position of these panels, because in Voyager set they are located far back. I'll take some pics of this situation as one image is equal a thousand words.

Hey, I'm here! Gentlemen I have an UD: I finished the interior, closed the cabin, install the add on armor, paint the 3 tone parts (and started the weathering), primed (AK Black) and painted (AMMO Chipping Color and VA Desert Tan Primer) the cabin. Now we have this: I painted many things that I want to put in the cargo bed, but didn't took any pics so far. Hope you liked! ACC&?W
