M1117 Trumpeter 1/72

I really like the colour finish on your Guardian 👍 Did you run into any major issues with building up the kit?

Thanks mate. The problem with this and other Trumpeter models in 1/72 is that the model that appears on the cover of the box is in 1/48 scale and not 1/72. The kit is windowless and not include thus clear parts, doesn't have the same detail as the 1/48 version (bottom hooks need to be made, etc.), and some minor fit issues. The external mirrors are very poorly finished. Overall this kit is fun to make.

Thx for the quick reply 👍 The "Trumpeter-Issue" with them showing their 1/35 models on the boxarts seems to be somewhat of a bad trend... have seen it way too many times :/

Oh yes, superb result!
That with the boxart from trumpeter on the 1/72 kit I always criticize.
It's not often what's written on it 😉
However, good job mate 👍
