I'm trying to get a good pic of the mine roller and also the giant x-ray machine they have mounted to the front of a few of the varients. Since i'm at a NATO base i can also get a few of the other countries vehicles as well. Just let me know what you guys want and i can do my best.

Semper Fi,

Tony,

Were you able to snap some pictures of structures? Or any other things like LAVs and such? Shoot me a PM?

Something like this ? AFAIK it's a ground penetrating radar (GPR).

The one above looks like those made by 3D-Radar :

Anyway...Thanks for sharing, Tony !

What a great series of pictures. I really hope that someone does these vehicles in plastic, especially the new MATV.

I'm surprised to see some of these mounting the rhino, I thought they were to defeat EFP's which (to the best of my knowledge) were only seen in Iraq.

Regards,

John

AFAIK, the Rhino is a IED pre-detonation device...

IED's come in many guises. An Explosively Formed Projectile is but one.
