Nice job. Pretty cool, I like the multi color scheme (black/OD). The 50's came out really well.

Good museum piece!

Looking good Animal. One question, the Mafia writing on the body, is it stenciled? decal? or handpainted, very impressive.

The name is hand painted and the rest of the markings are woodand scenics dry transfers. The trucks is the AFV Club M35A1. The armor and gun box are scratchbuilt form evergreen plastic. the 50 cal's are from the Skybow weapons kit. the minigun is haome cast resin as are all the soft gear. I built the truck from actual photos supplied by a crew member who served on the truck.
