Hey guys, I saw a lot of improvised technicals in Libya, but this one stands out for originality!

why not have a rebelvehicle topic here
anything non official , I wonder what strange vehicles we are going to see here...

I know of tractors in eastern europe, transformed helico/trucks in A'stan

WOW. I need one of those on my Minivan. I guess if you can 2x4 it on the back of a Toyota, you can put a BMP-1 turret darn near anywhere. Tricycle? Dirtbike? Donkey trailer? The possibilites are endless...

nice detail is the chair underneeth it

if it was over here ther would probably be a crate or to of Jupiler, or Duvel underneeth

Amen to that! I would bet that a plastic Toyota pickup would sell like crazy.. but try telling that to the plastic manufacturers

A BMP 1 turret on a Toyota pick up ... gotta love that ..brilliant peice of battlefield improvisation .

I'm not surprised no one was standing up inside the turret tho ..maybe bit afraid of it falling off , bloody know i would be

Come to think of it i do have 3 BMP-1's in my pile ..now to find the Toyota Hi-lux in 1/35 scale

yes guys, it's not the first cry for a modern Suv or pick up in plastic and in 1/35 scale
a firm investing in that part of the hobby would indeed do golden bussiness !
