Nice work brother. Other than the box on the rear, this looks very familiar lol.

Despite some of the directions being super challenging, I am seriously considering building another one of these because it was that much of a FUN challenge to build, and the end results are really nice!

Very nicely Done Brian!

I used to think that AFV Club was a Taiwanese shell company fronting for a German model company! Due to the tendency of AFV Club using 3-5 parts when 1-2 would do. You beat it into submission, and it looks real nice!

Well done Brian! Way to beat this one into submission! Great job on the AMPS Review as well!

When I saw this, the first thing I thought was we're in for a new SPG. Then I see it's a work van or mobile repair shop. I never saw one around the M109's I shot, but we did have them at the shooting ranges in the states. The ones we had were pretty much identical to the box art. No winch and a basic O.D. paint job. Another difference from the kit was that they all had automatic transmissions.

I never got to see one of these in my service, except outside at a DRMO maybe.

Excellent result Brian!
Although I really like this sort of subject, I fear this particular kit would be too fiddly for me.

Can't really see the point of the kit's supplier requesting you remove the thread from MSC - surely it is good publicity?

copying it to here keeps you from going to AMPS website... which makes sense since I am also a member of AMPS and getting more people seeing it there (who gave me the kit in the first place) makes sense.
