    Steve

    My knowledge of modern afvs is sadly lacking, so I'd not heard of this particular vehicle.

    Judging by the work you've done so far it is going to look very impressive.

      Looking good Steve, I am sure it is the little brother of the 6 wheeler MRAP I built, full size vehicles made by the same company.

        Thanks, (geek alert :smiling4: ) think the MRAP is built by General Dynamics and the Husky by Navistar

          Hi Steve
          That is a lot of kit for a fairly small vehicle. Fiddly to assemble perhaps but stunning detail. The AA resin conversion looks comprehensive and AA stuff is well fitting. What are the AA instructions like. Sometimes after market stuff instructions take some figuring out. Looks like you're off to a good start.

              Instructions are really good, made up of CAD drawings;

                Yes, my mistake, as I know that General Dynamics also make 4 wheel models I thought the Husky was theirs...........................wrong again. :anguished:

                    One of the perils of a 14 week old cocker spaniel puppy. Seat looks like its took a lot of incoming fire!!. Hopefully I can get a replacement from AA

                      Got the bowman packs painted and other comms kit as well. Added to the racks. Floor pads painted along with mats. A few scratches added. Will need some dust and washes added to the areas;

                                Thanks John. I was a bit daunted by the resin, but with the right tools , have managed to get a few bits off intact. So confidence is building.
