Fresh out of the priming booth. The gun truck is a kit bash from the bits box.

Love the 113 on the truck – where did the huts come from? Full Metal Jacket base assault comes to mind with the truck bomb!

The huts used to be made by Cor Sec engineering. I don't see them on their site any more though.

Is the M113 on the truck based on reality or a what if? Looks fun either way.

Yes, that was a real-life thing…

Wow. Seeing is believing. I'm guessing they adapted the superstructure of M113s that were mobility kills – mines etc. It looks heavy but I gather the armour was aluminium and therefore quite light. Plus it's a TRUCK meant to haul heavy loads – so OK – it figures. Nice job. Lot's of options for colourful 'markings'.
