Warfare in Scale chapter#17 - MaxxPro MRAP 4x4 1/35 KINETIC

The International MaxxPro MRAP (Mine Resistant Ambush Protected) vehicle is an armored fighting vehicle designed by American company Navistar International's subsidiary Navistar Defense along with the Israeli Plasan Sasa, who designed and manufactures the vehicle's armor.
The vehicle was designed to take part in the US Military's Mine Resistant Ambush Protected vehicle program, led by the US Marine Corps, as well as a similar US Army-led Medium Mine Protected Vehicle program.
MRAPs are categorized as category 1 or category 2, depending on usage and passenger compartment space, and Navistar produces the MaxxPro in both sizes, although the vast majority of those sold have been category 1 MRAPs. The MaxxPro Plus model comes with dual rear wheels for increased load carrying capacity, such as an ambulance or EFP protected variant. The latest model produced is the MaxxPro Dash, which is a smaller and lighter category 1 model. Both the Plus and Dash models use the MaxxForce 10 engine with 375 hp, in place of the DT 530 with 330 hp, used in the original base model produced.

What an amazing model... and great work on it :)

[@meggamanic5338]

Great job on the dash board, I built mine and painted it with Model Master Desert Sand Paint and weathered it slightly with some diluted light brown flat acrylic paint . They have some full scale MRAP MaxxPros at the National Guard Armory near where I live in America so I copied the paint color they have , I want to get a look inside the real ones, but they are fenced in.

[@Ducesweden]

My god, what a fun looking model to build! Very good work too.

[@Gerben972]

muy bueno...como siempre

[@u00drk1]

I know this post is a little old, but Great job Carlos. But one small detail on the facts at the beginning. Kinetic did not make a Dash Model. No one does. I know as I have worked on the MaxxPro for 6 years. The Dash has shorter a/c grilles on the sides and the roof is flat from the windshield straight back. We did this when we shortened the vehicle about a foot and reduced the height about 10 inches. I made the only Dash model in existence by cutting up a resin version. Other than that, very good detail, looks great.

[@carloscosta6752]

u00drk1 thanks for the info. Our sources are not correct...

[@tayswif13]

Great build up! At what stage did you remove the tape masks from the small side windows? They seem to be there as you paint the body. Did you just mount the windows temporarily?

[@youremybiggestfan]

[@misterx1707]

Gracias por la página, estaba buscando una pagina española y de buena calidad en la que me pudiera fiar. Estoy ansioso de pedir una maqueta en cuanto reúna el dinero.

[@dromihaethes]

Good lesson of building of scale models. what's the name of the song from the final of the movie ?

[@warfareinscale]

song is "High Price Victory" from Apple library music.

[@roncasa4042]

👍👍🎈🎈😀😀

[@seegurke93]

hello to everyone, which glue do you use after having painted the parts? is it the same you use for the plastic, the photo-etched parts or is it another? :) thanks

[@carloscosta6752]

seegurke93 for this model I only used cyano. Thanks!!

[@pedrochapps8815]

well that wont stay together very well with all that super glue, but very nice job on the painting,

[@carloscosta6752]

PedroChapps thanks!! I had to build it very fast, so I prefer to use cyano.

[@luteroblau6955]

Una pregunta por curiosidad ,¿como coges las piezas con los palillos? ,¿con plastilina? o ¿por presión? ¿Cómo lo haces? gracias por adelantado y enhorabuena por tu trabajo

[@carloscosta6752]

putosantiyankis muchas gracias. Es una especie de masilla adhesiva, para colocar notas en cualquier superficie. Saludos

[@paulosergiozapzap5130]

Bom amigo, parabéns sigo seus vídeos mas não encontrei nenhum que mostra a pintura de painel,aliás todos os plastimodelistas não vejo explicação alguma de como fazer

[@bent540]

16:25 whats that marching song called? anyone know?

[@baronedipiemonte3990]

If someone would produce a few of these in 1/24...

[@JoeMakesModelKits]

almost looks like a decepticon transformer...

[@schwarzerkuerbis]

It´s called "weathering", not adding 20 layers of smirky shit to make the vehicle look as unrealistic as possible... You won´t ever see an MRAP which looks like this.

[@alexronaldvelasquezmamani7535]

donde haces pedidos me interesan mucho

[@crazymodelgarage6438]

[@MrJefuu]

would like to buy a similar model from you ... Please contact me

[@manuelalejandromath8883]

esta en español yo hablo español i will speak spanish

[@eatqsworld2424]

That model doesn't look realistic. You use color modulation that destroy the model. To make a shadows you use light BUT NOT A PAINT

[@Ducesweden]

Destroyed? You are crazy! When he paint shadows it gives the model more of a depth. You can say that you don't like how it looks, but the model is not destroyed!

[@eatqsworld2424]

But It makes model not realistic

[@sekytwo]

EATQs World i would agree that it needs to be lighter more towards the normal sand color but the technique he used is spot on. If we would have used this vehicle through a more moody and rainy environment it would look like this.

[@MusicForTheBroken]

THIS LOOKS FANTASTIC! Subscribed and liked. However, the color modulation doesn't fit with how I remember this vehicle. While a muddy environment would look like this on the low half or even third of the vehicle. The top 1/3 or 1/2 would very much retain its tan color . We drove through shit-trenches quite often so if he stayed with this color he'd be spot on but only if he came back in and post-shaded the top 1/3 or half with a lighter, tan weathered effect. In other words, the weathering is too uniform. I'm also being VERY nitpicky at this point though. THIS LOOKS FANTASTIC!

[@MrCOUNTYCORK]

I think he definitely brought this model alive ,it is not ruined ,it is very good actually , a different style of paint job , there is alot of art work going on here ,and the environment of the vehicle is in the mind of the maker ,it is not just flat colour and boring
