US ARMY M911 C-HET & M747 trailer Finished !!

[gotnitro?]

I started weathering the tractor while the trailer sealer dried..I used AK sand /desert camo Panel liner like a wash..then streaked the pigments w testors. I really like the used look it created..hopefully you'll agree 

More to come !

Very nice weathering. I see you’ve raised the tag axle. I’ll try that with mine. I plan to have mine unloaded.

Officially calling this done !! My idea for trailers load didnt pan out so its rolling empty likely off awaiting its next mission, which makes sense with the raised tag axle ! 

I'll add pics tonite,  first set came out too dark

[gotnitro?]

As promised the finished pics !! 

more to follow

[gotnitro?]

thanks for following along during the build  ! I definitely enjoyed the build and still amazed about the amount of detail they crammed into the kit

Hello Jeff, your model brings back memories, of Convoys of the these vehicles on the Germany Autobahns(highway). Good looking model. I just got the HobbyBoss version in myself.

Awesome job, Jeff.  Great weathering, too.

A very impressive build of a real brute!  Well done!  One of these days I'm going to have to start the M20 Diamond T tank hauler.  That's an impressive kit as well.

Very nice, I will have to show this to my son when he gets back from his National Guard training in 2 weeks, it looks like something he would drive. He is a horizontal engineer in the Army, a fancy way of saying heavy equipment operator.

Great detailing and realistic weathering.

Beautiful build . Im attempting the same beast at the moment  and I was wondering about the parts you added to the firewall and where you   got them? my plan is to open the  hood to show the resin engine.

Nice build, great details!

Another one snuck up on me. Exceptionally nice build, not quite ready for 'white-glove inspection' but looks the part of a mission oriented truck.
