Hi mates and thanks to all!
I forced the interior quite fast to get forward to close the body.
It was a really quick job to get the job done, however, I think it turned out okay.
For the outside I will certainly work more precise 😁

@Robert: For sure! It´s just the interior, The construction phase for the exterior hasn´t been completed yet.

Beautiful work as always Simon! Are you going to leave the roof detachable?
19 May 2023, 09:53
Simon Nagorsnik
Thanks so much mates!
@Neil: no, i decide to fix the roof permanently.
But the rear door remains open.
The interior design is mostly intended only for one's own ego 😉

That's true dediction to make such a beautiful interior Simon and then conceal it permanently. Still at least we all know its there thanks to the photo evidence!

What figures did you use for the driver and the soldiers sitting down? Finding seated soldiers in 1/72 in the modern-era is nigh impossible!

Spanjaard
I think he modified kneeling posture into seating one?
13 June 2023, 09:53
Simon Nagorsnik
Yes, you are right, but with the increasing availability of 3D printed figures, the range should also increase.

In this case I remodeled the kneeling position to a sitting one.

Driver abd codriver are normal injection molded plastic figures from Modelcollect.
I removed material from them until they fit into the position - now they no longer have legs....

M1124 MaxxPro MRAP Vehicle

This Galaxy Hobby kit (GH72A03) is quite nice i´d say.
It offers a lot of beautiful things, but also has negative sides.

There are many pinmarks to remove (fortunately, most of them are not visible or difficult to see) and there are also plenty of mold seams.
When assembling the chassis, befor gluing a lot of dry fitting was required, as the fitting accuracy of the parts was often not so good.

All parts are needed for the Upper Structure fit much better, which is quite necessary, since it is composed of many individual elements.
The finish of the surface details is quite successful and there is even a slight anti-slip coating on the roof.
Included in the kit are "sagged" style rubber tyres but they look too small.

To provide even better detail on the vehicle, I used the complete PE detail set from Tetra Model Works (ME-72016), a .50 barrel from Master (GM-72-002) and tires from OKB Grigorov (S72470).

The OKB tires are not designed directly for this kit, which means that you have to do some adjusting and reworking to make them fit.
On the inner diameter it has an unpleasant shape suture that I found difficult to remove.
However, the appearance of the tire tread and other surface textures is excellent.
Unfortunately, the rims were slightly oval and the outermost ring is very brittle because it is quite finely represented.

In order to fill up the very empty interior, I rebuilt a few larger elements myself and filled them with various equipment from a T-Model accessories set and some figures from Modelcollect and CMK (F72343) which I´ve remodeled so that they fit into the vehicle.
