Nice to see the way, the Jackal has made on your workbench. Your result is very impressive and convince on the complete line.
A unique vehicle, which is a cool thing to present in exhibitions and to put in a showcase. Great job, John.
Please send Markus or me 5-10 photos (JPG) of this great work for the later end compilation of the GB.
All the best and further a good time. Greetings, Joachim

[@johnalecsscalemodeling]

Thank you so much Joachim and Markus for hosting. Great GB! I will do so and thanks for watching. Take care my friend - cheers

[@basilbean5085]

Mission completed, well done John!! I like very much the dark yellow filter, gives the model convincing colour patina. Hobbyboss make great kits, even for beginner's! Be well and Happy modelling.😺👍😺

[@johnalecsscalemodeling]

Thank you so much Basil! Yeah it was a great kit/build. Thanks for watching and be well buddy.

[@stevenpotter2071]

That's a stunning build John,looks a beast of a vehicle.

[@johnalecsscalemodeling]

Thank you Steven - yeah that would be a neat thing to rip around in!

[@goforitpainting]

Hi John, Really cool weathering. Have a great day.

[@johnalecsscalemodeling]

Thanks Daniel, you too!

[@Ryker06]

Unique vehicle that looks interesting! Good job!

[@johnalecsscalemodeling]

Thank you so much buddy! Appreciated

[@MannsModelMoments]

Great build John, and an interesting vehicle and kit. I was surprised that with the inclusion of photo etch, the seat belts were just moulded onto the cushions...I would have thought having them in PE would have really just added that finishing touch...just seems like an odd choice by Hobbyboss! Still, you did a great job and a lovely end result.

[@johnalecsscalemodeling]

Thank you Alex! Yeah that would have been nice. The elevation on the molded ones was so slight I decided not to try to paint them. I guess they are supposed to be black. All the pics I could find show someone sitting in them. Thanks for watching!

[@Greg420_scale_models]

Fantastic job John 👍

[@johnalecsscalemodeling]

Thank you Greg! Gad you enjoyed it, cheers

[@richowens600]

Might have to get one for my stash. But don’t tell the wife. I said I wasn’t gonna add to it 5 kits ago

[@johnalecsscalemodeling]

Haha Rich - shhhhhhhh. Yeah same with mine, there's the stash and then the secret stash. I loved that kit it was a lot of fun. Thanks for watching.

[@plasticmonkey5594]

[@johnalecsscalemodeling]

Thank you Scott!

[@davidAB779]

Really impressed with your build and makes me want to get this kit. Not sure if I have the skill or the patients 😂😍

[@davidAB779]

Meant patience

[@johnalecsscalemodeling]

Thanks David, yeah it's a wonderful kit. It went together really well. Thanks for watching buddy.

[@tamtom763]

great 🎉🎉🎉

[@davidAB779]

Thanks

[@johnalecsscalemodeling]

Thank you so much David, I really appreciate that. And thanks for watching - cheers

[@davidAB779]

Don't refer to yourself as an amateur modeller your skills are up there 🙏

[@johnalecsscalemodeling]

Thank you David, for me it's a hobby I've loved my whole life. I appreciate your kind words - cheers!

[@sm70911]

Very good - worth replacing both machine guns with brass pieces

[@johnalecsscalemodeling]

Thanks for watching - I though about 3d printing some but I was happy enough with the kit ones. The LMG was a little bent but I managed to get it straight. Cheers

[@lehagusev583]

Очень нравятся ваши работы и видео, так что простите, но я подписался на ваш канал... Извините. :)

[@willthorson4543]

U did a good job but yikes on the molded on seat belts and the 50 cal. Both look like they are from 70s tamiya kits. Gives me ideas whenever i might do mine

[@johnalecsscalemodeling]

Thanks for watching Will - yeah I should have done something with the belts, they're barely raised and I was worried I'd make them look even worse! I waffled on the M2, I though it was decent enough. Sure an AM or printed one would have looked better of course. Enjoy yours, it really is a great kit you'll enjoy the build. Cheers
