VonL Posted July 14, 2010 Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 (edited) This is SAC's classic PEACEKEEPER security vehicle, based on the Chevy Blazer, from the late 1980's. The 'kit' was a short-run, resin set, bought from a hobby shop near my old BUFF base (Mementos Hobbies in northern Maine) a very long time ago. The wheelbase scales to about 1/83 scale, based on the real thing, sitting in our air museum. Everything added to the resin hull was scratchbuilt from sheet plastic, wire and craft stuff...except for the M-60, which comes from an aftermarket PE set.

802chrisg Posted July 15, 2010 Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 Very nice job on this kit. Looks great. I remember seeing this actual vehicle twice. Once at the old Plattsburg,NY SAC AF Base in the 80's and when I was in the Navy on Guam at the Naval Magazine used to guard the fence line for the Nuke bunkers. I always liked the look of this vehicle. Thanks for sharing it here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RGronovius Posted July 15, 2010 Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 There was an old abandoned one at the old Moore Army Airfield when I ran the maintenance school at Fort Devens a few years back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warwheels Posted July 16, 2010 Report Share Posted July 16, 2010 (edited) Nice job on what looks like a rough kit. Here's some pics of the real thing at warwheels.net: http://www.warwheels.net/CommandoScoutINDEX.html If you could take more photos of the model and send them to me, I can put them up at WarWheels. Just send me an e-mail at editor@warwheels.net . Edited July 16, 2010 by Warwheels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VonL Posted July 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2010 Thanx for the good words, guys! Can mo'debly send a few pix to War Wheels. The SAC version of the PK displayed at Ellsworth AFB is fairly intact. Can send along some detail shots of that critter too, if you think the AFV crowd wants them.
