Warwheels Posted July 30, 2017 Report Posted July 30, 2017 Looks great Mark! I have one in my stash too and can't wait to build mine after seeing yours.
RGronovius Posted July 30, 2017 Report Posted July 30, 2017 I remember seeing those all over SWA. We used to call them "snake trucks", I guess because they looked like the type of vehicles you'd see on safari, especially the ones with troop seats in the rear.
Mark Aldrich Posted July 31, 2017 Author Report Posted July 31, 2017 Kit number VS-005 is the one that reminds me of a Safari vehicle with it's air cleaner mounted externally and the ZPU-2 looks very menacing as well.
RickCummelin Posted August 10, 2017 Report Posted August 10, 2017 Love your build, but I would think that the recoil from the gun would just shred that Toyota. That would be after the rear springs both broke first. 1
Mark Aldrich Posted August 11, 2017 Author Report Posted August 11, 2017 Thank You! Imagine having a BMP turret mounted in the rear! http://www.ebay.com/itm/DEF-Model-1-35-Technical-Pick-up-w-BMP-Turret-Conv-set-Meng-VS004-005-DM35038-/112384433337?epid=1447131575&hash=item1a2aa25cb9:g:-TYAAOSwvihY~5yK
Mark Aldrich Posted August 15, 2017 Author Report Posted August 15, 2017 Meng also makes two resin aftermarket options. Both are rocket launchers and look easy to build.... http://www.ebay.com/itm/Meng-Model-SPS-040-1-35-Pickup-Mounted-Quad-Rocket-Launcher-resin-model-kit/352094489461?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649 http://www.ebay.com/itm/Meng-Model-SPS-034-1-35-Pickup-Mounted-Rocket-Pods/351905332706?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649
WildBill50 Posted August 16, 2017 Report Posted August 16, 2017 This could make a great dio. "Honey, guess what I found at the garage sale the next block over, you won't believe it!" Great job, Mark! Bill 1
