AFV Club M51A2 Gun Truck Peace Maker

[Warren D]

Calling this one done.  Once I got the frame issue resolved, it turned out well.  I'm getting the hang of the AFV Club kits, you need to study the instructions and test fit everything.  You also have to look for mis-numbered parts but for someone who has built many an AMT kit, this is nothing new!  Color is my own mix and is a lot closer to the FS 24087 than anything available in hobby paint.

Another awesome build. These trucks are sweet, and definitely a new rabbit hole for me.

Thanks, they can be addicting.  So much more out there than there was 15 years ago....

I have one of these kits. It will have to be something I have to build with no other distractions. 

I have some weathering supplies, down to the red that real vets tell me that we're crawling in the mud over there.

Very nice.
