I recently completed the Takom M-9 ACE for the HAC Engineering Vehicle contest. The M-9 is built out of the box, base coat paint is Model Master Sand, #4720, and of course, heavily weathered. The kit allows you to pick 3 different blade/suspension posses; driving mode, blade down digging and suspension lowered, blade up with suspension raised up. I chose the last option with the blade up and suspension raised up.
It is modeled after an M-9 ACE serving in the 20th Engineers in Iraq.
In these 3 photos above you will see the rubble, ground cover, dirt and other debris I added to the blade and inside the bay.
And here are two more photos while under construction. Now go back in the blog's archives and look for Vince's version with blade down and digging! What a fun kit to build. And am probably going to add a base and more rubble.
Enjoy!

Fine job Don. It was good to see your and Vinces side by side.
This really came out nice. You should base it.
