Thanks everybody! Must say I hadn't planned that rocket version at first, had even ordered a nice stowage set for it, but then I found that picture, and didn't really like those SS11 rockets on the AMX, and read somewhere else that the IDF didn't even use that AMX version, only the French did, Heller just thought it was a nice picture and IDF models would sell better.. To be honoust, I have no idea if the IDF actually used the Dodge like this, like I said, could only find 2-3 pictures without any information, so could very well be this was only a test model.. but.. like Heller, I thought it was a nice picture This is the first time I am using that Vallejo primer, but I do like that color... do you recon one could use primer as end color coat as well? And the big brother will be 'simply' brightend up with stowage... no guns in the back of that one, I will leave that up to RedZebra |

Thanks, I have my doubts about the stowage set, will just have to see if it all fits.. But anything left over will go into another truck  |

Left it in that nice primer, do like the color, though it is probably to dark for 1967, I think it is more a later color... Repaired a stupid misstake, had the mesh screens on the sides of the SS11 rockets the wrong wy round.. Did some detail painting, put on some decals, so now waiting for the wheathering.. the big brother is waiting in the background, tying to get into the forground... he is next for the painting..    And then it is time for a halftrack love it when a planning goes well.... |

That looks great, Bert! I like the ID stripe on the hood; very realistic!

A superb end result chap, the rockets add so much to the Dodge.
