"We Build . We Fight" 1/25

[Edward Gore]

This project is something I wanted to do for a while. It took me about 1 year to complete.

The front suspension is scratch built for articulated steering of the front wheels. This is not connected t the steering wheel.

Spare tire case, in "continental" position is also scratch to look like those on the military HMMWVs. Can be articulated in the open or closed position.

I used the alternator and a piece of the kit's sprue for the BLACK OUT light and a part from a disposable lighter for the NATO jump plug which are both positioned in front of the grille.

Decals are from Jim, JBOT

Hood ornament is a Seabee, purchased from a Navy museum gift shop

thanks for looking

Not a fan of the cars them selves, but I do admire the craftmanship of the models them selves, great work on this one.

Sweet Caddy! Did those wheels come with the kit? They are sick. Nice Tribute car, check out my tribute Mustang when you get a chance. Nice work!

As a former SeaBee I say OORAH

[Mooneyzs]

This Kit looks great. This is a pretty cool build for sure. that interior is insane and looks great. Very good job man

[Peter Lombardo]

Well it is different! Not my thing, but if you had fun with it, that is all that matters. I mean, it is well done, for what it is. "Build quality" is build quality regardless of the subject. Well done.

[Edward Gore]

I'm not a big fan of those donk cars, bu I like your interpretation!

[sjordan2]

Hey, shouldn't those seats have olive drab webbing?! (Just kidding.) Great detail work. And I'm another of the guys who hate donks but admire excellent craftsmanship.
