Trumpeter M1117 Guardian

Next on the bench is trumpeter's M1117 Guardian with a shed load of goodies! This kit has been quietly maturing in the stash for some time and as I'm in the mood for a reasonably easy build it fits the bill nicely. Starting today I've already got the slightly complicated suspension sorted and ensured the wheel hubs are aligned correctly. As is they have a very slight angle but need to be vertical so time spent getting it right saves a lot of headaches later on.

The voyager replacement wheels are a straight swap and fit perfectly onto the wheel hubs. I didn't bother with the etched wheel guards supplied with them as the kit ones are perfectly adequate.
