Had some major damage in transit. The gun mount assembly broke loose asnd the gun mount itself got mashed a bit. Re attached the pillar to the chassis using Aves apoxie. Measured a lot as I wanted the thing to rotate once fixed. No matter I still needed to tweak it once dry. The tweaking probably meant the floor of the chassis bent a bit. The Aves stuff is incredibly strong. Also used the same material t attach the barrel to the gun. One of the wheels had lost one of its nuts and had to repair it. Added very few items to the basic vehicle.
Made new vehicle markers for the front as the stock ones were too large.One of the nuts from these saved the day to repair the wheel! Added a Mike Stannard tow cable, DML MG34 and several bundles and extra equpment for the exterior. After detailing the spare tire a bit I decided to cover it with canvas as most of the images showed it this way. Covered the markings and repainted the vehicle and weathered it as usual. For a relatively small vehicle it is all metal and of course quite heavy. All in all I’m very happy how it turned out. |
