BlackMax12 Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 This is a big box with two huge bags, one for the M983 HEMTT tractor and an even bigger bag for the M901 trailer and launching system. I think this will take more than a week. The last two images are of the trailer and missile launching station. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackMax12 Posted October 19, 2016 Author Share Posted October 19, 2016 Started the M983 tractor this morning. About 150 plus parts later I have the chassis about ready for primer. This is going to be a slower build than the Cougar MRAP. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackMax12 Posted October 22, 2016 Author Share Posted October 22, 2016 It's coming, only needs windows and some decals and then on to the trailer. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrancisGL Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Well mounted, I really like the dusty look you've given, go fast assembly, surely you are the fastest gunslinger south Mississippi ... lol Cheers mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackMax12 Posted October 24, 2016 Author Share Posted October 24, 2016 The trailer is a lot tougher than it looks. I have tried to do it in sub assemblies for painting but the outriggers are attached early on and they are going to be difficult to paint. I haven't even started the missile boxes yet and haven't decided whether to make them so they can be elevated or just fixed up or down. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackMax12 Posted October 25, 2016 Author Share Posted October 25, 2016 I've taken the HEMTT tractor as far as I'm going with it so consider it finished. Now I can finish off the trailer and move on to something like a Takom Canadian Leopard with the MEXAS outfit. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackMax12 Posted October 26, 2016 Author Share Posted October 26, 2016 The trailer is assembled ready for paint which is going to be quite a job. The electronics and missile launching platform, etc are just sitting loose so the trailer and everything can be painted separately. Anyone volunteer to paint, camo and decal it? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrancisGL Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 As you see, it will be a fairly large model, you'll need a lot of space to put it ... lol , cheers mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackMax12 Posted October 27, 2016 Author Share Posted October 27, 2016 Got the trailer painted up. Needs a ton of decals and then try to match the weathering on the tractor. I will leave the missile canisters relatively clean as they are changed and shouldn't be as weathered as the rest of the unit. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
