Finaly finished The Big Kahuna I started back in 2002. As finished as it's going to get anyways. Still used a few Italeri parts on this one. Much of the rest was scratch or kit bashed.

Wow looks great Joe...not bad for a 6 year project I had a look at the other photos and it does look sweet, and I always like the APC conversions more. You and Dave sure do make some great looking trucks. Glad to see it finished.

Thanks guys,
This will probably be my only 5 ton guntruck for awhile. I have an M35 quad 50 that's nearly completed. Would like to build a few more but have to many other 5 ton truck projects to finish and other trucks I'd like to build. But ya never know. I work on several models at the same time and could slide one in the mix someday .
