Howdy Brian,

Man...she's looking good! I don't suppose you have any better pics (closeups) of the mine plow do you? I'd really like to check out your weathering/wear work ya did.....

Tread.

You have it sitting on a Tammy box, but that's the Trumpeter (?) kit isn't it....I believe the Trumpeter kit comes with the proper (holed) drive sprockets and turret mounted ARU.

Hey Brian,

Like everyone else I have to say that's an excellent job on the mine plow. The weathering is magnificent.

You know I particularly like the red stripe on the evacuator on the gun barrel. :)

Good luck at the IPMS competition. :thumb:

hey guys....thanks for the kind words...no its the Tamiya kit i added some details to get it up to speed.the Drive wheels and apu are legend resin item...i also added the anti-slip surface.the wheels were tricky the sprockets are separate from the wheel and were not that well cast in my set so i had to cut the kit sprocket off the wheel thin it down a bit and add it to the resin wheel...i have a picture somewhere on the computer i'll post it so you can see ...also i'll take a few close ups of the plow and post them too...
again thanks for the kind words...
btw the box its on is an M113A2 O.I.F kit soon to be on the bench...
