Is this puppy toally scratch built, or do you have a base kit you are converting? In any case, it looks like it'll end up being totally magnifico when complete

The engine deck (Hood) is a cast resin piece of a modified 2 1/2 ton hood. I modify the the fenders by lengthing them 15/32 Inches and widen them 1/8 inches. The cab is from the M-35A2 AFV Club 2 1/2 ton kit. The frame and undercarriage including the wheels are from the Italeri M-925 Shelter kit. The trailer is all scratch built with the exception of the pump assembly and the wheels and springs.

Man... And I thought that I have a lot of work with my M923A1 (you can see it in "M923A1 BigFoot..." thread). Scratchbuilding this beast must have been one really big project!

Impressive, most impressive...
