BlackMax12 Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Started a radar tracking unit to go with my AFV Club HEMTT tractor and Patriot missile launching trailer. Not a lot of progress yet. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackMax12 Posted May 15, 2017 Author Share Posted May 15, 2017 More progress. Trailer pretty much complete except for axles, wheels and tires and of course the radar unit itself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackMax12 Posted May 17, 2017 Author Share Posted May 17, 2017 Thanks Phil Thanks Sonofjim It's just as big as the Patriot launching trailer so I'm not sure where it's going to get parked. Lloyd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackMax12 Posted May 17, 2017 Author Share Posted May 17, 2017 The trailer is complete and the radar unit is just sitting for now. Hope to have some paint by the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackMax12 Posted May 17, 2017 Author Share Posted May 17, 2017 Thanks Chris It may get an overall coat of Tamiya NATO Black tomorrow and then the usual green and brown later. I'll try to match my HEMTT tractor and Patriot Launching trailer so hopefully they turn out as the complete outfit. Don't know where I can put all three together as my display cabinet shelves are rather too small so they would be pretty cramped, if they even fit. Should have maybe built this trailer with the outriggers up in the travel position. Too late now of course. Lloyd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackMax12 Posted May 19, 2017 Author Share Posted May 19, 2017 AFV Club HEMTT 983 Tractor and Patriot launching trailer with Trumpeter radar tracking trailer. The radar trailer needs decals, some more dry brushing on the radar screen and an overall light dusting to match the other two. Otherwise it's pretty much complete and a lot simpler build than the launching trailer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackMax12 Posted May 20, 2017 Author Share Posted May 20, 2017 Pretty much finished except for the tail light lenses I forgot to paint and install. Tried to match the weathering on the launching trailer and it turned out close but maybe still a little too dark and needs more dust. Big trailers and a tight squeeze in my cabinet but they do both fit on the same shelf as the HEMTT tractor, that shelf is full....... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
