Ok guys... I've started this some time ago and kept it in a restrict circle until i see i could pull it through

Backstory: a 1/10 Unimog build was in a standstill, needed more fabrication and the motivation had died off. One night, saw the ad for a mobile war game featuring a curious looking tracked truck. Did some research and fell in love for a truck so ugly that's almost russian
Talked to a coworker(ex-military) about it and not only my country has them but he rode one while in service

To the build!

Because this truck was a side affair, tried to go slowly, only to see where it would lead

Back to the nose:

The 1:1 has 2 headlight clusters, containing regular headlights, blacklights for stealthiness, horn, blinkers,etc(depends on the variant). on mine I went for regular lights, red lights to simulate the blacklights and horn
