Sorry peter , totally missed this one until now . Looks excellent , never knew they had stuff like this in Vietnam . Cheers tony
Now that’s coming along very nicely indeed Peter. And like you said the letters and numbers would get scratched. Keep up the great work.
Weathering now done, tried not to over do it!
Some light rust, light chipping / wear marks, a light mud wash, mud on the tyres, etc.
It still needs its final touch up and matt coat, then I will post up the final completed pics.

Me neither until I saw this kit! It was apparently made by Cadillac (Gage) and used (mostly) by the US Military Police for convoy escorts and base defence. Due to its high angular shape, it was easy(ier) to use in dense vegetation, eg: jungles, and crossing deep waters, etc.
Calling this one done.
Its had its final matt coat. For some reason I got a paint reaction on the top rear (RHS) section, near the rear closed hatch, where its gone a sort of powdering white, not sure why? I quite like it as it does look a bit like some wear/corrosion, so its staying as is.
This will be going on my Vietnam Diorama (separate thread) as part of the scene.
It may get a more muddy look before going on the Dio, we'll see....

Cheers, and thanx for suggesting the GB. I'll put up a completed pics thread as I have just improved the muddy look a bit, especially the wheels/tyres. Really enjoyed the build, and watching other peoples GB builds...... I may just have to start another one for the GB.....Very nice Peter, it looks spot on for a heavily used work horse
