1/35 Ukrainian Mongoose buggy

[Old Wombat]

My observations:

1. The rack is perfect!
2. I'd put the Javelins & a couple/three jerry cans on the front deck & Mk.19 ammo cans in the basket.
3. Having the buggy being right-hand drive would make it easier to load the Mk.19

And it'd improve it's sales prospects for an export market too.

I think I'm done with the main vehicle except for some touch-ups; I'll photograph it in sunlight, hopefully without too much ash falling on it.



The brown on the floor is dirt, not rust. I'm making straps for the spare Javelin tube - you don't want it to hit the suspension arms or fly off on its own. The rack has a spare box of 40mm grenades for the Mk. 19, an equipment box (oil is drying on it) and i glued a PE jerry can holder from the Magic Factory MZDR D4 to the back. The red fuel can adds some color:



It's a small vehicle!:




The figure is from the ICM "Quietly came, quietly went..." Ukrainian SOF set.

Getting better all the time.

These are some outdoor pictures. The vehicle isn't as blue as it appears:



The Ukrainian SOF guy is still in progress, the French mechanic was on a coffee break, so we have this guy as a stand-in for scale. He may be over equipped for the hunt:

Not if he's in Australia - though sometimes a 40mm will only get their attention; then watch out if you've made it angry...

Looking really good

Thanks, guys! It was a fun kit - almost sad that it's finished.

So just barely enough firepower for the Second Emu War?

Considering a Vickers machine gun didn't cut it a MK19 is definitely going to have limitations.

He could be hunting Raptors & Rexes.

Almost done - I'll take some pictures in the sunlight today.

Quick shots in a light box:





With one of the ICM figures. I used a Ukrainian digital pattern decal. The instructions suggested Multicam, but I couldn't find a supplier in the US and didn't want to spend the time to paint the pattern manually or to make my own decal. The microphone is wire wrap wire:





Closeup of the figure:



This was a fun kit to build; for around $20-$25 I certainly got my money's worth of stress-free building entertainment.

That's a good criteria to use. 

Come out really well.

That's still got me very tempted to play with something I started building like 8yrs ago 🤔 😅
