Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

That will do that. Although not terribly happy with some of the weathering choices around the wheels. May need a redo. Or not.
Maybe just a brush down will do. Out of scope for this thread any.




Thanks all for the kind words

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.  Revelling in numptytism.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed, badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry.

Looks great! I was pondering about the most Australian of Australian vehicles, the ute, and wanted to know if the armed forces used them.

Apparently, there's a purpose-built one in the form of the Hawkei!



Maybe an encore would be a special forces/recon Hawkei?

Tom, special forces did use Hilux utes in Afghanistan ,,the Aussie SAS used em for patrol work ,,attacks and so on ..we call em techinals ,,utes or pickups converted as weapons carriers and man i'm lovin the HawkI  ;D

I like that Bri  ;D   :thumbsup:
As for those wheels ... i've seen some strange weathering on wheels be it trucks or military vehicles ,,hell on one job i was on i drove my truck thru clay and the tyres turned blue  :o  ;D
So those are good to go matey  :thumbsup: 
If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

Nothing wrong with the build or painting, from my perspective.  :thumbsup:

The Hawkei looks interesting. Complete with Aviator Goggles - what would one from the world of Planes look like?  ;D
