It does look good thus far, the decals look like the new Hammers Slammers ones from Ainsty castings. |

not totally convinced about the skirts… Not in your painting, but more that it's an odd shape for them. Then again it's not finished, and besides, If I wanted my own I could probably build without them… I just want one in 28mm |

I think you can find decals like that on Hobbylink Japan's site, too. I have a bunch of decal sheets I ordered from them and there are some things in there that are similar. |

I agree BigNickR. From the design stages I had an issue with the skirts. They should run the length of the hull for starters. I am getting some of these and I'll definitely address the problem then. |

@TK421, if you don't want those stubby schurzen, you can send them all to me, and I promise you they'll all get a very good home.

I want to extend them so that they look like they belong on the vehicle and not borrowed from another. I'm well aware that you would find them a good home if I chose not to use them. I'll keep that in mind. |

It was a side affect of side skirts that could fit over a number of motive systems, including legs, a-grav, tracks, and wheels. And which didn't get me accused of creating a Rhino rip-off. ;) Best,

Because you are a former Marine, John, the M113 has been imprinted upon your DNA, as this happens to all veterans of land based armed forces services in the Western world. The thing's like a tracked cockroach. You can't swing a dead BTR 80 without hitting one of the silly things…

We never used the M113 in the Corps but I get your meaning. I'm mesmerized by tracked vehicles more than gravs or blowers. JBR, how about a sci fi AAV 7? |
| BlackWidowPilot | 26 Apr 2014 10:14 p.m. PST |
Decals are clearly from HobbyLink Japan: link
Quality product from HLJ, no question about it! I've used a number of their decal sheets as well; you'll find them under sci fi, subcategory decals using the HLJ search refinement menu located on the left sidebar.

Oh, Im the offspring of a former Marine who gave 35 years of postwar service to the Navy as a civilian specialist, TK, so I actually do know that the Marines rode in Amtracks rather than ACAVs, etc. I'll second your motion for an Amtrack AAV 7 analogue, as LNG as it comes with a grav option.

Old Crow has something akin to the AAV 7 but I would really like to see something closer to it. |
