Сергей Никитин Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Good day, colleagues and sympathizers. For a review, I present to you a model whose appearance in plastic I have been waiting for a long time. American one-and-a-half-ton Chevrolet G506 truck in the G7107 variant. The second largest truck delivered to the USSR under Lend-Lease (47700 units!) And here in my hands is the cherished box from ICM. Start building! At first everything seemed fine... We are studying the prototype. The first thing that catches your eye is the body ... Incomprehensible short beams, the absence of a box at the back from below. And the body is metal. Disorder. Sawed through. I didn't bother with the cabin, and it looks more or less like it. We redo the fat bumper and its fasteners at the same time (hello, thin metal and evergreen), slightly modify the front grille. Making new wipers. Throw out native wheels with native hubs. Wheels - PanzerArt from GMC, self-made hubs. Adding some wiring. We fill the body. An canvas made of tracing paper, all sorts of junk from stocks. The most interesting task was to make straps on the left side of the body similar to the photo. It seems to have worked out. The driver is ICM, the comrades in the body are hybrid from ICM, Zvezda and MSD. A pair of machine guns, a Zvezda and an ICM. Coloring - Akan, Tamiya, GSI. Marking is a stencil. Oil and pigments - AK, MIG, etc. Enjoy watching! Thanks for attention. 25 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullbasket Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Not a vehicle that you see every day. Nice job all round, including the figures. John. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewCJ50 Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 The figures do add a lot of interest, well done I can't think the driver would have been too impressed with the Maxim blasting away a few inches above his head though!
