1/72 scale German Boxer

Okay, I have now gotten enough done for me to start this campaign. This is the Revell of Germany 1/72 scale Boxer. It's a neat little kit with some pretty good detailing. Here are my startup photos:

I started out building the lower hull:

After that, I added the floor plate inside:

Next it had me build the driver's compartment:

After that, I added it to the lower hull:

Next I started the rear troop compartment. Since the real vehicle is modularized, they made the model the same way. Here is the basic box:

I didn't worry about the huge sinkholes in this because the top covers them quite well:

Later, I slipped this into the rear compartment on the lower hull. I was very amazed at how well this fit! This is only dry-fit in place:

Well, that's about all I have for now. Thanks all for looking in, comments are welcome.
 
Thanks guys! I also have the command version of this vehicle too. with this one going together so well, I think I'll start it also. Not for this campaign though; you'll be able to see it in my WIP posts under the Workbench Thread.
 
I finally have something to post here now that I got some painting done.

I went ahead and painted on the second of the camouflage colors for this beastie:

WIP_APC_GB_XIX.jpg


Later on I added the third color:

WIP_APC_GB_XXI.jpg



That's all I have on this for now. Stay tuned for more.
 
Thanks guys! I just got home from Florida yesterday so I apologize for not responding sooner. I'm still trying to get caught up. I do hope to have this done fairly soon so I can start my CTA III campaign.

Thanks again for the compliments!
 
Okay, I finally finished this Boxer APC for this campaign, but before I show it; here's some pics of the progress I did leading up to it's completion.

After painting the third camouflage pattern on this model, clearcoat and decals were then applied:

After that, I dullcoated this; added the gun to the remote turret and then added some tools and antennas, among other parts. I also started to install the wheels to this. If it looks like it is leaning, it's because it is. I only got the wheels on the one side:

Then I needed to rest since my injury was really making itself known...


Later on, I got the remaining wheels on and also added some additional detail parts to this:

WIP_APC_GB_XXV.jpg


WIP_APC_GB_XXVI.jpg


Finally, I added the last detail bits on this so I could finish the touch-up painting and get this finished:

WIP_APC_GB_XXVII.jpg


And now, here is the final pics showing my finished model for this campaign:

I'll add these finished pics to the Completed Builds Thread when someone posts it up.

Thanks all for looking in. I appreciate those few who followed along and commented. Now I need to get my ribbon for this and move on to some other campaigns.
