AFV 1/35th scale IDF M109A2 DOHER

[bradley25mm]

All, 
       I’ve always wanted to get one of these kits. I’ve heard so many good things about them. I did do quite a bit of scratch building on the inside of the turret, and the interior of the hull. 
        I ordered the interior from Black dog models. I did add some additional detail using leftover photoetch, and solder to simulate piping. I added lights in both the turret and hull. White lights for non-tactical situations, and blue lights for tactical. This is probably one of the funnest builds I’ve ever had, armor wise.

Regards 
Chris

A plethora of details. Now, what is your verdict about the kit? Is it as good as you expected?

I don’t build that much armor. With that being said, I thought the kit was awesome. I had no issues. When I initially opened the box to check the parts out, I was happy to see the level of detail that AFV had put into their kit.

Thanks for having a look

For a guy that doesn't build much armor, you sure showed 'em how it's done here. Having served in the Army as a tracked vehicle mechanic on these machines, I can appreciate the level of detail that you put into this vehicle. I got to fire one of these during an excercise once over at White Sands New Mexico. What a thrill that was!!!

The vehicle and the scene are just outstanding

That interior work is fantastic! I did the old Italeri kit a number of years back...this kit is far obviously far superior.

WOW! STUNNING work!!! I really like it a lot.

I love this! Everything a rendition should be this is. Very realistic and your attention to detail is impressive.

Gorgeous work! Add in the interior lighting, including the low vis battle lighting and this really is superb!
