Stryker M1131 Trumpy kit

[spud]

We have Pics!!!!

Was in the art store yesterday just looking as i was in town, So i picked up a new sheet of paper card stuff, And boy is it way better than the black.

This box was a B* to bend because on the side u cant see it dint have a crease for one bend and it ended up snaping off so i had to glue it back together, also in the pic is the wire cutting thing, there is 2 more of them on the etch to be made.



Next up is the drivers hatch and bits around it,


This is the winch i beleve so ill need to add a rope or some cable that runs to the front



Smoke launchers should be spread apart i beleve, But num nuts that i am never checked it before hand. also is the storage bins


Lights and were the tow cable gows.


Some kind of winch thing, i replaced the coper wire with some fine tow cable i got from Rbmodels a while back, and i was sorry i did, The copper would been easier to work with


And the towing bars


hope you like the new bg.
