Here is my latest work. I have been working on an M7A2 B-FIST from A Co, 2-7 IN, 3ID during the invasion of Iraq. This vehicle is part of a larger project that a group of us has been working on for the 3 ID Museum. We are all donating models that depict vehicles from the first Thunder Run. A large diorama with these vehicles will be on display at the 3 ID museum.
This vehicle depics HQ 71, 1-9 FA attached to A Co, 2-7 IN as it looked after the first Thunder Run, which was the armored raid into Baghdad on 5 April, 2003.
During the fight, it took an RPG round to the left rear. This is the timeframe I will be depicting.
I have basically completed it to where it is ready for paint. I still need to add the RPG spall and hole to the left rear. I added anti slip using Rustoleum texture spray paint. I updated it with pieces from the Legend M2A3 set (cream-colored) and added a bunch of scratch pieces (white styrene). The stowage baskets are Eduard PE pieces, which are very nice.
Here it is so far:
Thanks for looking.
As always, all comments are welcomed.
