M1240A1 M-ATV U.S. MRAP 1/35 by Ryefield Models

First time I've built a Ryefield Models kit, first I must say the detail was amazing and the size of some of the parts, both plastic and PE, can only be described as 'bacterial'.

But would I build another ? 

Not too soon, I'll try to forget some of the frustrating moment first.

It was a challenge at times, the instructions were at times a bit vague and at others what I was asked to do was down right impossible, given the shape of the parts. A LOT of parts had flash on them, especially around the mould ejection marks and when the part is only 2mm long, it presented a challenge to clean up.

Anyway, I completed it and learnt yet more about modelling along the way.

I hope I've done this splendidly detailed kit justice and I hope you enjoy looking at the pictures.

Jon.

Well done, that came out looking great. All the hard work and frustration paid off really well. The coloured glass was a good idea as well. 👏

You’re very kind. Thanks for putting up with me.

Looks great. Love the glass.

No worries. After making the British Husky I gained a big soft spot for these new military vehicles so was glad to see one being tackled. Look forward to seeing your next project,

I have the Husky, but might do something a bit older ?

A nice clean build there.  Great detail.
