Now a small detail that it's almost invisible but wanted to do it anyway

Each road wheel arm has a piece atached to the hull where the axle pivots

So printed 8 of these:

 

 

OD green  paint to cover it all

 

 

These were meant to be bolted on but only glued them on

Non-rc people can think all they want of adults playing with expensive toy trucks but this hobby has a nice learning aspect . Who learn about a lot of details of the trucks you're building and how they work. Another thing is learning skills. I've learned to TIG and braze because of RCs. I've learned to 3D model because of RCs . Building the M548, learned even to use Adobe Illustrator to do this next thing:

 

 

 

 

 

On Facebook, through the contacts network, came to know a army mechanic who works on the only base  that have our M548s. He liked my project and offered to take photos of anything I wanted(WHY DIDN'T HAPPENED EARLIER!!) . He sent the photos of all I've needed: Tags and labels around the truck and inside the cockpit.

 

After that, on Illustrator redone every label to vetor, including text in the right font and size so it wouldn't be messed up when printed in scale.  Then a local print shop agreed to print these properly. All the text is clear
