Love what you've achieved so far Tobias, the vehicle is great on it's own but the dio just adds to the great build, you've got some very nice references too

Looking good!
Where did you source the elephant from? Must be long out of production!
Cheers, Tobi

I'm sure the elephant will appreciate the no scratches/streaking limits Tobias.

Hi Tobias, It was the 'Nam conflict that first got me into modern military history so - I ordered this kit about 5 minutes ago! It's my first 'Nam era build so I'm looking forward to this. You've done GREAT so far. What I do need is that Mantlet cover. Where did you get yours from buddy? Keep this blog up-tp-date as I'll be using this to help me! Ben

Thanks buddy, I actually did the sensible thing and read the blog - after posting that question! DOH! Does anyone know where I can get Legend stuff from in the UK. I've only had a brief search but all avenues led to very BIG dead-ends Ben

Definitely some fine work Tobias! Didn't have any Elephants up where I was, but a nice touch.

That elephant is superb Tobias.
I flew in and out of the delta and all I saw on a daily basis were snakes, monkeys and pizzed off sailors.

I've only had a brief search but all avenues led to very BIG dead-ends Ben Hi Ben, Try Ian at Friendship Models, eshop.friendshipmodels.org.uk/ I believe he is sole UK importer of Legend stuff. Cheers R Hi Ian, They were the first guys I tried - I phoned his mobile and spoke to his wife. APPARENTLY it's not even been properly released yet or there's a serious backlog (the Mantlet Cover) so I'll just keep my eyes open. I've left my details with them so they can phone me when they get in. In the meantime I'm getting everything else together - I've bought some perfect PE diamond mesh for the turret basket/frame and some additional stowage - I'm now just waiting to get hold of this damn Mantlet cover! If anyone else can help please drop me a pm. Cheers, Ben

How are you getting on Tobias? I've got the AK wash for Green AFV's and the filter too. Not sure how in what direction I'm going to take the paint yet - I do have AK's colour mod set but am thinking a darker green might be needed looking at photos from 'Nam? I must say your's looks GREAT with the washes and filters now applied. Lucky Model have the Dragon Mantlet cover and Searchlight in stock so that's ordered and I've bought some perfect scale diamond mesh PE for the turret basket. Nice heads up on the book - I've ordered that too Oh, and a pair of suitable antennae! Update needed Tobias! You blog will help me big time Ben

Hi Tobias, You know I'm about to start this build too - well I got the same book by D Doyle. Have you seen the picture of the REAL 'Wild One 4' on page 27 at the top? Ben
