The biggest 'missing" piece I guess is the winch but Im not sure. The winch is virtually manditory for deployed vehicles I think.
What sort of things stand out as needing basic/manditory corrections? looks pretty good so far !

Hi Adam - yeah the winch, well its not included in the kit, but thats not a real drama, there are examples of Bushmaster's on deployment without it:

So, my first impressions of this kit are generally good. Its great to see this vehicle finally available in kit form.
Ive started construction this afternoon, and got the suspension done. Its overly complicated, and generally 'sloppy'. The lower A arms are held into the transaxles with tiny pins, which were next to useless. I used 30 thou evergreen rod instead. I had to chop the rear tie rods on one side to get the camber and caster right on the rear suspension.. not fun. Luckily one can't see much under there.
To the photos:


bit of misalignment, but the vehicle sits on all 4 wheels, and doesn't rock

Interior floor fits nicely (its just pressed in here at present) and has nice tread plate texture

Nice details overall


Hull rear

For a giggle i put some ACM ASLAV crew in the air guard hatches
