That's gonna be super cool. These short builds really take a toll on me, but they really are fun.

I can't say for certain, but considering they mostly were supposed to do their deeds at night, particularly involving airfield seizures, black makes sense. I know at least one of the two Ranger Battalions in Grenada had their gun jeeps in black.

Breaking it up into three sessions makes it quite bearable. The time limit is still quite a factor, but not horribly so compared to say a weekend build. At least you have the months in between for paint and glue to dry, and to adjust plans accordingly.

This'll be very interesting to follow along

Thanks TJ. I’m kinda bummed that I have to wait a whole month until the next session. I’m kind of excited over this project.

This past Saturday we had session 2 of our 12 hour build challenge. I finished building all sub assemblies, stowage items & weapons, then was able to get them all primed in black using Mig Ammo One Shot Primer.



And of course I had to test fit everything…



Next month is the final 4 hour session to wrap this project up.

Looking sharp. Neat little vehicle.

Thanks John! This really is a great little kit! I’m really looking forward to next months build session when I can finish it up.

That looks superb Carlos - can't wait to see it finished!

Thanks Stuart. I can’t say enough good things about this kit. Although I will say that Hobbyboss took a few shortcuts and did not provided some US specific items such as water jugs or D-handle shovel, instead keeping the UK versions of those items. I ended up using some from my spares for those items.
