M1075 Pls

This is my version of the M1075 PLS vehicle. It is 1/35 scale and about 95% scratchbuilt. It took about 2 weeks to build. I started off with the Italeri Hemtt M977 truck and modified the chassis heavily. I considered this to be my best work although there is another model I like best; I chose this because it was basically scratchbuilt.

Absolutely stunning. I love vehicles that have been weathered with a real appreciattion for reality.

Things like the deisel stain down the diesel tank show just how well you know your subject and how you can bring it to life.

I really enjoyed looking at that thank you.

I must say, the weathering and fuel staining effects and such are simply outstanding! Just superb workmanship!
