Academy 1/35 M981

Thanks guys!

Mike, for the Stryker I'd suggest some of their more generic sets, as they don't have any sets with the MOLLE gear that came along with the Strykers.

John, this hammerhead is primarily for target spotting and designating. It does have a M60 MG for self defense against troops and soft skin vehicles.

Why is anything based on the M113 so cool? Superb work Carlos!

[Stikpusher]

I don’t know Stuart, but it’s one of the most versatile hulls that has been put into service. And thank you.

There needs to be more love for the Strykers!!!

Finally more progress! I was able to get this under a coat of primer… Mig Ammo One Shot Brown





Next up… Sand base color…

[keavdog]

Wow all that detail just showed up! That's a pretty great color on it's own.

[Gary Brantley]

Great progress, Carlos!

[Stuart]

That's really nice Carlos - looking forward to seeing this done.

I'd love to pick up an 1/35 M901A1 at some point, but they seem to go for stupid money at the moment.

John, Gary, & Stuart, thank you for the kind feedback.

John, I do like this brown primer for a base under sand or tan schemes.

Stuart, really there is only one M901 kit out there, originally by Italeri, and reboxed by Revell Germany. This M981 could be converted into a 901 without too much difficulty. In some respects, it’s a better starting point than the Italeri kit.

I like this one a lot. Brown primer, huh? Well, butter my biscuit and call me breakfast. Never thought of that!
