Try Krapky 1/25 Hummer - desert version

[modelperry]

Parts 41 to 50. Some parts inserted between the sides of the truck needed to be trimmed for good fit. I didn't get everything exactly square either. What does all this mean? Fit wasn't perfect for me, but I was able to make it work, mostly.

Diagrams did exist for most of these parts, but they weren't as accurate as I hoped. This meant that parts placement was vague in places and I had to guess how to install them. This was especially true of the bed parts.

Parts 51 through 60. No real issues to report here. Mirror placement is a little vague but relatively easy to figure out in the end.

Looks very good so far, Greg. I'll be watching with interest .

Here are.... The WHEELS. No major issues here. I was worried they would not look very good based on the way they build up, but, for the most part, my worries were unfounded.

I'm not sure I like the lack of rim detail, or the simple nature of the hubs, but overall I'm happy with the end results.

The REST of the story....

Here are the remaining pictures of this project. While not quite as nice or refined as their Fennek kit, Try Krapk's Hummer pickup in desert color is a nice break from many of the superdetailed projects I find myself stuck in the middle of. The issues that comeup during the build are easily solved with a little thought and a nice little model can be had in the end. I enjoyed this build and think most of you who like wheeled armor would enjoy it to.
