I like Voyager sets, they are so neatly and safely packaged too. I saw a video of one of these MRAP's and thought they would make a fine addition to my sudden start to collecting modern armor. Still watching!  Jeff |

Leon, yup its loaded with parts... completely different from kit provided PE but some of the parts may not be in use since I'll be doing open doors and hatches. Hi Jeff, totally agree with you on the voyager but the problem is their instruction sheet it really gives me a smack in the head. work on the front bumper, quite thinking if I do a scratchbuild winch, but need to look for reference pic for it. Before  After  Cheers!!! |

Def.Model is a good product for sure. Glad you used the side-by-side there as many confront me saying that I'm wrong that the kits tires are "just as good' and the resin pieces are a waste. Nope... not in my book. Nice going with the frame work, it's always a fun stage. Jeff |

Jeff Well, its about time to show them the different between the two. if they still says your wrong, ask them if something wrong with their eyes will get back in a few days... Cheers!! |

Thanks Leon, yes the wheel looks great!!! Mock-up of the Kit, little by little PE works, primered some parts due to repair and putty. Painted the undercarriage with Sand Color...  the pic below will covered with a protective plate... but need to painted... washes and weathering to be follow just be sure all the parts are completely secured even you turn the kit upside down.  since this will be an open hatch, much work to be done on the rear, small details count on this part, the door won't close and you need to cut and sand if you plan to have the close option. there are 2 very visible sink marks front and back. most of the parts will be upgraded and modified with PE.  as always thanks for checking in!!! Cheers!!! |

Need to push myself on this one... working with PE stuffs, there are mistakes on assembly but need to work on it to cover it up. below the turret assembly is almost ready for Priming some parts will be assembled last after the paint and the clear part is installed.  Here's the mock up with the O-GPK the lower part will be prime and paint specifically on the AC area for weathering and details before covering it up.   as always thanks for looking, Cheers!!! |
