Another interesting combo, I look forward to your A class treatment of kits and the diorama.

Very nice display, now you have convinced me that I should have painted my M142 HIMARS in desert colour instead of green. Maybe one day I'll give her a re-spray.🤔
👍👍👍

Another great looking diorama. Love the comparison between the two.

Very nicely done. I believe Australia is considering HIMARS, hope so, would love to see in Auscam.

Thank you all - I realized that antennas are missing.
Also someone pointed me that dirt on M270 front looks like mud - that's need to be corrected.
Anyway it's almost done, I will add some light pigments to simulate dirt and that's it.
Thank you again.
As I want to finish my work-in-progress project - I'm moving to FAUN&Puma set.
