Great choice, Bert! The M54 is a great looking 6X6.

Looking jolly good indeed Bert  . Looks like this is one the better AFC Club kits, some of them are way too over engineered, with hundreds of rediculous parts  . |

That`s a fab looking under carriage there Bert....i`ve built a few chassis in the past and some of them seem a shame to cover up  ......have to agree on the Italeri quote tho

Wow, awesome kit! I wish they made those in 1/72 scale so I could build one.... or several as gun trucks. The rest I couldn't see due to the blue box of death from imgbb.com. I'll have to come back again later when it all shakes itself out.
Keep it coming!

I had been looking at those guntrucks as well, they look great.. but this one was meant to be converted into an IDF version, moving the exhaust and airfilter to the other side.. wasn't meant for the 1967 time frame but for a later build of 1973.. don't think I will miss one truck in that coming build.. |

Trucks are a very overlooked subject.
Nice choice and nice start.

Excellent start on the chassis, Bert! No denying that a 6X6 has a complex suspension. |
