Hello all, first time posting while building (took most of the pictures before I even dreamt of posting the progress.)

Well, that is all I have so far! I am excited for the responses.

Again, excuse the painting, but I don't think it is too bad for the first time ever using an airbrush!

Thanks, the photo etched parts are a first for me as well as the airbrushing. So many new things to try and learn at once!

It is really fun seeing stuff I work on every day, but scaled down. A few of our soldiers are going to try their hands at the same kit. :thumb1:

Sorry for the total pic dump, but uploading from a cell phone is quite difficult haha.

One last thing it seems I have to do is paint the reflectors and taillight assemblies/ blinkers here and there. Just need to find a small enough paintbrush!

Also, sorry about a few sideways pictures!

Hope you all enjoy.
