Finally finished it today, just in time for the campaign too! 🙂

Jeffrey Riedesel
That is nice!

Ulf Petersen
Looks pretty good, Christian!👍
This one yells for a presentation on a vignette!

Bulldog Scale Models
Really nice build Christian, like the weathering

Bart Goesaert
nice build... Is the lower hull that short compared to the upper hull?

Kerry COX
I like the greasy hubs mate. a nice touch. 🙂

Augie
Very nice !

Christian Maheu autor
Thank you everyone! This has not been a very pleasant build. It's an older kit and the fit was less than perfect in many places, the details are soft all around and the missiles are too thin. I wanted a quick build and in a way, it was (took me a little over 1 month to complete, a record for me!). The "Links and Lengths" type of tracks were a pain but at least, there is enough to complete but sides, even after the suspension was "stretched".

@Ulf: Thanks for you comment... I'm not a vignette type of guy and besides, I don't have the room for a base! 🙂 But I do agree, it would look very good on a base.

@Michael: I hope you'll enjoy it! If you need the Eduard photoetch set for it, let me know, I have one set for sale! 😉

@Bart: The suspension on Trumpeter kit is a sort of "squashed" towards the front You need to stretch it by about 6mm if I recall. You can do a Google search to get the specifics. It is not a difficult modification, but it's very annoying and it really shows up, once you know about it... Haven't I done it! It would have bugged the hell out of me!

@Kerry: Thank you mate! I always see the hubs leaking grease and oil, on almost every vehicle I see... so it had to be there!

Murad ÖZER
Nice job Christian, yes the kit has issues but it's still a very unique vehicle in it's ownright and will sit in your display cabinet proudly🙂

Kerry COX
Christian. You not only pay attention to all your detailing but you take time to respond personally to all those who have enjoyed your build. That's a noble quality you have mate. Thank you.🙂

And the build is full of the 'wow' factor. 🙂

Christian Maheu autor
@Murad: Well, thank you... and yes, being unique, it will certainly attract some attention, probably not as much as my D9R but, still... 🙂

@Kerry: Replying is part of being in the community, right? I mean, if you don't reply, why be part of a community!?!?! Doesn't make sense to me! 🙂

Kerry COX
Your logic Mr Spock is well noted, and I do concur. 🙂

Przemek Przybulewski
Very nice model. I like the dirt touch on wheels and suspension.
What happened to missing missiles?

Es-haq Khosravi
Great job!

Kim Branders
👍

Christian Maheu autor
@Kerry: I'm a real social butterfly I guess! 🙂

@Przemek: I intentionally left some out. My subject research only showed 1 or 2 missiles mounted at any time. Besides, these are not deployed on active duty, and I really doubt they would mount 3 missiles for training, or live fire exercise!

Thanks Es-haq and Kim! 🙂

Gábor Bélik
Great stuff!

Kerry COX
It was a KUB that bought down that Malaysian air lines supposedly !!

Christian Maheu autor
Oh, that I didn't know! 🙁

@Gabor: Thanks mate! 🙂

Kerry COX
Oh, NO drama on my part, as it is just a model to me, and now I feel I shouldn't have mentioned it. Sorry for my foot in mouth moment here Christian. As no one really knows how it happened, as it is really all supposition. 🙁

Christian Maheu autor
No worries Kerry! This is also just a model to me of an interesting subject. I like interesting subjects! 🙂
