Academy 1/35 M151A1

[Stikpusher]

I’m feeling the modeling urge flow again to start a new “quick” build to knock out before the year ends, so I started this little one on Saturday evening.



After two hours I had the engine, suspension/drivetrain, and most of the main basic assembly completed





I should have construction done in a few more days then be on to painting immediately after that...

Cool! Glad to hear your mojo is back. I built a little 1/35 Italeri commando car. Little willys prickling with guns and gear. Fun project and I have inadvertently recently acquired a 1/35 Willis kit again. Along with that somewhere I think I have a 1/48 Verlinden resin kit. So interested to see where you go with this.

Looks like a fun build Carlos.

It’s good to feel the mojo flowing again. Since this is slated to be a quick build done in short order, the build itself will be OOB, and the fun will be in the painting work. And yeah, you gotta love jeeps in all of their forms.

So far, it is indeed.

Stay tuned for more in the next few days guys!

cool. and only a few hours...show off. In that amount of time i can loose three parts, spill paint and or thinner.

[Stikpusher]

You and me both!

What a cool subject Carlos - what's the scheme you're going for?

[LyleW]

I’m guessing OD of some sort.

[Stuart]

lol! Well yes, or how about a bit of... MERDC! (well okay, maybe not for a mojo builder - but cool!)

Actually, since the A1 version was replaced by the A2 from the late 60’s on, I was wanting to go with the camo scheme only used in Europe until MERDC came along, MASSTER, aka 7th Army. It reminds me of the WWII German three color camo, but with black added as well.
