DocRob Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 Quite an interesting beast Mark. I like those working vehicles, where function rules clearly over design. Cheers Rob 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark We use those in the civilian world, too, but they are called ARFF trucks (Airborne Rescue & Fire Fighting). In fact, a lot of civilian ones are surplus military. We don't get to call our stuff "tactical" because no one is shooting at us...usually.😁 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peterpools Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Mark Absolutely the best way to avoid frustration when a situation isn't going well on the Viggen, just put it aside and think things through with a fresh mind and perspective. Nice choice for your fill in/alternate build - will be following all the way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peterpools Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Mark You're speeding through the HEMTT M1147 and it's looking so good. What was the holdup point on the Viggen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was the holdup point on the Viggen? Problem with the fit off a few parts. A decal screw up. Canopy foggy.... But wil get over it just a set back But after the weekend back on the bench almost there on the line. Small details to go. Mark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterpools Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Thanks Mark for the update and a breather is the best way to take a fresh look at what needs to be done and then when you're ready, back to the build issues. Those limited run and resin kits - just have a mind of their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
