U.S. Heavy Fuel Tanker M-978

Jim, I like it. Very good! I wish the Oshkosh logo was included on the cab and mud flaps. The shape is there, but the words omitted. A copyright thing and lack of agreement between Oshkosh and Italeri? l agree, the bumper numbering scheme was off.

Yeah, there was a lot wrong with it. A big issue I had was that the mounting brackets for the fuel tank didn't line up with the corresponding locating holes on the chassis and the engine deck appeared to be mis-shapen and slightly warped as well. Did you have similar issues with yours? The decals were also problematic in that the main set were coloured to overlay on top of a NATO paint scheme for some odd reason and the alternative decals that I used for this Gulf war scheme appeared to have been included only as an after thought. The best thing about the kit were the Def.Model resin wheels lol! 😄
