Project Commando - 1:35 Cadillac Gage V-100/M706

She is really looking good, Pawel. Good job.

Hello everybody!

Cap'n - and how do you like the build?

Gamera, TigerII - thanks a lot for your kind words, they mean a lot to me!

And I have everything nice and smooth now:

As you can see I added some lugs on the rear - where the fuel can holder and pioneer tool rack would bolt to, but USAF didn't seem to use them - I guess on the airbase they would only add weight here. I have also added some missing welds on the sides. And now I can start working on the suspension.

So first I had to work on the springs. OOB they look like this:

And here are my tweaks:

Now I have to build new shock absorbers and their mounts, and also the bolts attaching the axles to the springs. FUN!

Thanks for looking and have a nice day

That's some amazing work there Pawel!  I love the custom 3-D printed parts and the other extra detailing you are putting into the model.  And the Commando is such a neat looking vehicle, yes a lot like the BRDM.
