Tony's toy
My first military vehicle. The post tried to find out how much weight it could carry. Fortunately, only the box was damaged.
The paint for this kit. Unfortunately, MIG made an error with the numbers: 0045 isn't black but gun metal. No problem, enough black paint in my stash.
The wheelsuspension
Underside
Top of the frame
Underside with driveshafts: all wheels are driven
The front end with the spare wheel
Lots of details
All wheels fitted in place, temporarily
Top view/ The trailer dish needs to be aligned
Primer applied. Unfortunately,for some reason, not all wheels touch the ground and I have no idea why. But when I make the holes in the wheels a bit oval, I hope it will solve the problem.
The cab and the rear end
One of the two winches, with real steelwire!
The brown colour added
Camouflage is making progress
Side view
The rear of the cabin needs some attention
Masking for the final colour. Masking an aircraft is a lot easier 🙂
The black colour added
Front view. A bit of touching up is necessary

Album info
After seeing the big Oshkosh owned by Tony Beets in Goldrush, I wanted to build a model of this truck. I found a nice 1/72 scale model, loaded with a D9R armoured dozer.
