Hello Rory!
Thanks a lot for your kind words!

I have painted up the lights front and rear. Hobby boss supplies these parts made entirely of clear plastic - that allows to paint them up in an interesting way. In the photos below the wheels are only dry fitted, so they look funny. Somehow the left lights also look crooked, I'm not sure why, in reality they look "straighter". I have also tried to simulate the edges of the armor plates in front, like you told me. Here are the photos:





I feel like I could finish this one up in one day if life didn't keep coming in the way... Let's see how long...

Thanks for looking and have a nice day

Hello everybody!
Recently I have worked on the weapons mounts, there are two foldable mounts on the sides of the superstructure, I’ve built one deployed:

And one folded:

I had to scratchbuild their locking levers. I’ve also added what a friend was always pointing out - the chains securing the fuel filler caps. A third chain is on the trailer hitch in the rear:

I was also working on the armament:

One “pig” is from an AFV Club kit, the other one from a Dragon figure set, and their mounts are leftovers from my TAKOM Sgt. York. The “invention” on the left is the XM174 automatic grenade launcher that was tested in Vietnam by USAF (that info was supplied by a friendly Vietnam vet).
To add some stowage I started with the ammo boxes. Another info from my vet friend is that some boxes were painted white and meant to hold the 40mm illum rounds:

And that would be it for now - thanks for looking and have a nice day

The intricate detail, and your application of that, is very truly impressive. I love all the little gems, like the canteen labels.

Splendid work!

Sorry for the late reply, I missed the post on the 16th.
