I have a question for the experts: there are no indications for painting, so planning to paint the undercarriage sand (same color than the body except motor in black), however what about exhaust (black?), brake systems, suspension, etc… Cannot find proper pictures. Thanks.

If you havent already then you should use the reference material thats at the bottom of the product page. And from my knowledge the exhaust of modern US vehicles is black or dark grey. Brake systems and other stuff like that is probably the colour of the camo or some shade of grey. The build looks very nice so far

Thanks Kesa. Indeed, there are a few pictures showing what I was looking for.

This is also a useful site, though it seems it isn't updated anymore.primeportal.net/apc/ken_erickson/mrap/

All US military vehicles are coated completely all around in CARC, as it's a special non absorbing of chemical agents, and so a simple spray of a special cleaner can decontaminate in a matter of minutes. The MRAP identical to this saved my butt in Iraq in 2008, as I was the gunner on the lead vehicle and took an IED to the 2 o'clock position. Had a deep admiration for this truck. In my albums I posted some pics of Iraq, if you need inspiration or details for your upcoming diorama ! 🤙
