Title: Warrior APC
Post by: Bob C on August 18, 2021, 07:51:00 PM
This is the Academy 1/35 scale warrior boxed as Iraq 2003. I believe that this is the updated version from an earlier Academy boxing. I started it in April last year got a bit fed up with it, for no real reason, and put it away, got it out again last week with the aim to finish it soon. I bought a set of Star decals for a Balkan version so when finished it will be dirty white.
I'm trying to get some unfinished ones done.

Hi Bob,

I'm sure it will look the part when you have finished with it.
Not pristine, just 'Used'.
Keep at it.
Cheers,
Bigkev

Wasn't yours the dirtiest Warrior ever?
In more ways than one maybe?

It will be dirty but it would probably have been through the washdown.

Ey up Bob,

looking forward to seeing this one.  I did a bit of time over there and those mucky white UN vehicles bring back some memories.  If there's a set of British troops diving for cover, you could recreate that famous scene when Bob Stewart's troops went on what was billed as a nice easy peacekeeping tour, came under fire and had to scarper!
