Yes, I can finally see the end product. I’m kitbashing up some crew figures from my spares box, and have some stowage selected to put aboard… plus I have proper antennas on order from a company in China, so the last few steps are just ahead.

Now that my RSOV and Oscar are completed, this one is back on deck as my main project. I created some brush guards for the rear antenna mounts using a straw, and I made some antenna mount bases for the two for the forward antennas that Academy neglected to include.

Next up is getting stowage in place then it’ll be ready for priming & painting.

Over the past few days I’ve been working on stowage for this beast… thank goodness for Tamiya, Value Gear, and my spares bin…

Aside from some MRE and bottled water cases to be added after priming and painting, this thing is ready for primer and paint now…

Does that vehicle have any offensive/defensive capability or is it solely used for target designation?
Gear looks awesome btw.
