M1124 MaxxPro MRAP Vehicle

This Galaxy Hobby kit (GH72A03) is quite nice i´d say.
It offers a lot of beautiful things, but also has negative sides.

There are many pinmarks to remove (fortunately, most of them are not visible or difficult to see) and there are also plenty of mold seams.
When assembling the chassis, befor gluing a lot of dry fitting was required, as the fitting accuracy of the parts was often not so good.

All parts are needed for the Upper Structure fit much better, which is quite necessary, since it is composed of many individual elements.
The finish of the surface details is quite successful and there is even a slight anti-slip coating on the roof.
Included in the kit are "sagged" style rubber tyres but they look too small.

To provide even better detail on the vehicle, I used the complete PE detail set from Tetra Model Works (ME-72016), a .50 barrel from Master (GM-72-002) and tires from OKB Grigorov (S72470).

The OKB tires are not designed directly for this kit, which means that you have to do some adjusting and reworking to make them fit.
On the inner diameter it has an unpleasant shape suture that I found difficult to remove.
However, the appearance of the tire tread and other surface textures is excellent.
Unfortunately, the rims were slightly oval and the outermost ring is very brittle because it is quite finely represented.

In order to fill up the very empty interior, I rebuilt a few larger elements myself and filled them with various equipment from a T-Model accessories set and some figures from Modelcollect and CMK (F72343) which I´ve remodeled so that they fit into the vehicle.
