Oshkosh Truck Co. has a small photo gallery with some OIF pics of their vehicles. It's along the bottom of this page under "Get There First." Looks like they also have photo galleries of other vehicles.

Howdy PorkChop,

Nice you noticed the site, it does have some pretty good pictures. In fact the last picture (#18 of 18) is the one I am basing my M1070 Super HET Tank Transporter build-up on. I have seen additional pics of that convoy (before they were empty) where the 3-tone Euro camo was so completely diluted with the desert sand, you almost couldn't tell they were green!
My Accurate Armour Super HET will wear that colouring/weathering, just as soon as I can get to building it. Got a couple of things in the works ahead of it at the moment though.

I'd love to see that HET in styrene, if I recall the AA kit carries a HEFTY price tag with it.....

Howdy PorkChop,

You aren't kidding Nate! Even in resin the price tag on mine reads $485.00!!!!!! It left 'hefty' back around $200.00! I think, for most modeler's, $485 sheckles is entering the realm of 'crippling'!

..........and if my wife find's out how much I spent, [b]I'll be the one 'crippled'! #:-)

Actually, I bought the kit during a recent big sale at my local hobby shop. That, combined with a few gift certificate's given me by friend's, allowed me to be able to 'justify' it's arrival in my household.....

Hmmmmmmmmmm, now I remember why I didn't buy it.
I sure hope that's with the cargo trailer....
